_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     A description of a polygon path that describes the outline of a
     character (and might be part of a larger picture).

_S_l_o_t_s:


     '_x': Object of class '"numeric"' 

     '_y': Object of class '"numeric"' 

     '_r_g_b': Object of class '"character"'  that specifies the fill
          colour for the polygon.

     '_l_w_d': Object of class '"numeric"'  that specifies the line width
          of the polygon (only used if the character outline is
          stroked).

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     Class '"PictureOp"', directly.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:


     _g_r_o_b_i_f_y 'signature(object = "PictureChar")':  convert to a grid
          grob (for one-off drawing).  Use argument 'fillText' to fill
          the text rather than just stroke the outline.  In that case,
          the first path for this character is filled in the
          appropriate colour and all subsequent paths are filled using
          a colour controlled by the 'bgText' argument (default is
          white).

     _s_y_m_b_o_l_i_z_e 'signature(object = "PictureChar")':  convert to a grid
          grob (for drawing as a data symbol). Currently draws nothing.
