Unique from the other shapes in that they aren't represented by a single quad so will requiring a more complex or unique rendering pipeline.

Would really love to see polygons as well, or at least arbitrary triangles which I could combine to a polygonal area :)

I couldn't help looking into triangles (they also happen to solve my immediate problem): https://github.com/james-j-obrien/bevy_vector_shapes/pull/30

Any chance of this getting implemented soon? Would love to have irregular polygons.

My attention is currently more focused on ECS improvements to bevy itself (see the hooks, dynamic query and observers PRs I have oustanding) so I don't have a timeframe in which I expect to dedicate time to additional feature work.

The implementation is not necessarily that complex so I would be very open to reviewing and merging PRs implementing these shapes. It's mostly a matter of using the new GPU buffer abstractions in bevy to push an array of points alongside the standard shape data. Otherwise I feel it's more pressing to push towards relations in bevy_ecs as that is also a long desired feature and I unfortunately only have so much bandwidth.

I do hope to eventually get to implement these, or see a similar API makes its way into bevy itself and I appreciate the interest, so thank you for that.
