Quad Widget

The quad widget is used to draw solid polygons on a slide.

Here's an example:

#config_version=5

slide_player:
  mc_ready:
     bezier_example:
      - type: quad
        points: 210, 110, 210, 150, 500, 200, 590, 190
        color: pink
      - type: quad
        points: 50, 550, 400, 400, 400, 100, 200, 200
        color: lime

Which results in the following:

Note

Quad widgets also have "common" widget settings for position, opacity, animations, color, style, etc. Those are not listed here, but are instead covered in common widget settings </displays/widgets/common_settings> page.

Also remember that all widget settings can be controlled via widget styles </displays/widgets/styles>, rather than you having to set every setting on every widget.

points:

A list of 8 values representing x,y coordinate pairs for the four corners of the quad.

A list of the x,y coordinates of the corners. Note that to have a normal four-cornered shape, the corners need to be in order. You can start with any one and go clockwise or counter-clockwise, but if you enter the corners in a mixed order like 1, 3, 2, 4 then it's possible your quad will fold over itself and look weird.
