A Polyline is just a bunch of lines. It doesn't need to be closed off.

Sorry, once again I (probably?) didn't make myself completely clear;

What I wanted to say is: The result of drawPolygon looks exactly the same as drawPolyline on my machine, and I wondered; didn't "drawPolygon" say something about auto close the shape (from the last point back to the first point) - even when lastPoint != firstPoint - which doesn't happen on mine.

Understandable (now)?

A polygon is a 2D region. You can fill a polygon, and when you do that you will see that it is closed. That does not mean that when you draw it, you will see a line connecting the first and last vertices. A polyline is the edge of a polygon.
