To create the selection, you click within the image to create which join to create a path. When the polygon is completed, click Save. The lines of the polygon must not overlap. Clicking on an existing point will delete that point, and the polygon will automatically join the two points on either side. Shift+Click may be used to move existing vertices of the polygon. Practique attempts to create vertices in the correct order automatically (radially from the centre of mass of the polygon) and this works well for most simple polygons. For complex concave polygons it may be necessary to create the vertices and then use Shift+Click to move them to the correct place afterwards.
