Oddly enough, that may have uncovered a bug in LC 9 dp3 . . .

I thought I would set the points of a polygon graphic to the points of the
regular polygon graphic that I had exported into a scrolling list field.

But when I selected 'Polygon Graphic' from the Menu/Object/New Control/Polygon Graphic (Mac OS 10.7.5: yeah, yeah, I know, 'tisn't supported for LC 9: go and try it on a newer Mac running
Mac OS Rocky Mountain) and no polygon graphic appeared on my stack.

To contextualise this: there is no problem if I select 'regualr polygon graphic'.

To make an irregular polygon use the polygon style. If you need it to have regular points you can first create a regular polygon, get its effective points, change its style to "polygon", then set the points and adjust them however you like:

   put the effective points of grc 1 into tPts
   set the style of grc 1 to "polygon"
   set the points of grc 1 to tPts
