polySides
set [the] polySides to posInteger where posInteger is 0 or a number from 3 to 50. The
polySides property returns or sets the number of sides of a polygon created by the Regular Polygon tool. Set polySides to 0 to draw a circle. (You can also select one of six standard polygons by choosing Polygon Sides from the Options menu.)
If you set
polySides to a number lower than 3 (other than 0) or higher than 50, it automatically reverts to 3 or 50. Demo Script
