Description

to draw a filled ofPolyline right now, you need to use beginshape/endshape. but i think a way of adding ofPolylines to an ofPath would be really good -- even a conversion from ofPolyline to ofPath might make sense.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing ofPolyline drawing flow through beginShape/endShape and the ofPath API. Determine whether adding polylines to an ofPath or providing a conversion best fits the existing graphics model, then define the expected filled-rendering behavior and tests before implementation.
