No point when ending polygon drawing

[brianbourke75]

When one ends the drawing of a polygon with a double click a final point is placed at the point of the double click. Generally when I am drawing I am looking at the polygon as is and I don't think about the final point when I go to end. It would be a change in behavior where the double click is a simple acknowledgement of the completion of the polygon without that final point.

Again, this and the open seadragon tool are lovely and I thank you so much for making them!

I agree, that behavior would be better. (And/or another commonly seen pattern, where clicking the first point of the polygon again would close the shape. This is planned for #45.)

Great, thanks for the feedback!

I'm moving this issue over to the plugin repository. In the improved polygon selection tool I'm currently working, closing the shape will work by clicking the first point of the polygon again.

Update: the plan for the new polygon tool is that either of the following actions will close the polygon:

1. hovering the mouse over/nearby the first point and clicking once (when hovering nearby, the cursor will snap over the first point)
2. double click (anywhere) will close the polygon, without creating a new point, as you suggest above

Like the other issues, I'm closing this one in favour of the "todo-list" issue for the new polygon tool:
