Draw a polygon.
Following the mode argument, this function can accept multiple numeric arguments or a single table of numeric arguments. In either case the arguments are interpreted as alternating x and y coordinates of the polygon's vertices.
Note: when in fill mode, the polygon must be simple or rendering artifacts may occur.

Arguments
Returns
Nothing.
Examples
Two ways of drawing the same triangle
This example shows how to give the coordinates explicitly and how to pass a table argument.
-- giving the coordinates directly
love.graphics.polygon('fill', 100, 100, 200, 100, 150, 200)
-- defining a table with the coordinates
-- this table could be built incrementally too
local vertices = {100, 100, 200, 100, 150, 200}
-- passing the table to the function as a second argument
love.graphics.polygon('fill', vertices)
