Thanks for the patience in clarifying all this.
I think the dictionary could really use some kind of commenting system. What
you are saying here is really important both for future docs as well as
possible changes in the terms used in the IDE. But.. here it is buried deep in
the lists.
Opaque on/off trick… wow… very helpful.. typically I will be following a path
in an image. Kind of like the magnetic lasso operation in photoshop, the use
case is to use the graphic as a mask, set blending, gradient over an area of
the image…
So once we get to the last point before closing… instead of going on that
mini-frustrating fishing expedition to try to make the last point on top of the
first one… we can just stop .. toggle opacity and let LC do it for us… very
useful hint!

now you have to change the style of the graphic to "polygon" and it uses the
points. If the graphic is not "closed", i.e. the last point is missing then
toggle "opaque" (if on unselect it and reselect it, if off select opaque)
this will close the polygon i.e. it is a full rectangle consisting of 5
points.
The opaque on/off trick also works for polygon graphics you draw in the ide.
If set to opaque it will supply the last point to close the polygon, that
point sticks even if turn opaque off again.
