does anyone know if it's possible to specify the color of a polygon 

created in lcd (through the "paintpoly" message)? the help file says 

it can't be done but the max reference manual says (of the paintpoly 

Optionally, a color may follow the last x/y pair that is the same

as the first one. If there is one additional int argument, the color 

color from Max's color palette in the same way as the color message. 

are three additional int arguments, the color specifies a color as an 

value in the same way as the frgb message.

i'm not sure who to trust here - the help file or the manual!

First to trust: your own experiment, just try...

If there is a discrepancy between your experiment and the manual, you 

might report it if you believe its relevant and you can reproduce it.

The best start for your own experiments is the help file, you might need 

to modify it... (I do that all the time...)
