Exploding a Polygon into Lines

Explode a polygon into a set of independent lines and arcs.

\expol

 

Indicate the polygon to be exploded.

The entity loses its polygon characteristics and adopts the characteristics of a line. Each segment is now an independent line entity.

The lines can be collected to form the polygon using the Constitute a polygon from a group of lines (\aspol) command.
