The org.opencv.imgproc package of Java OpenCV library contains a class named Imgproc this class provides various methods to process an input image such as resize(), filter2D, etc.. In addition to these It also provides a set of method to draw geometrical shapes on images.
Among them to draw a polylines you need to invoke the polylines() method of this class. This method accepts the following parameters −
A Mat object representing the image on which the polygon is to be drawn.
A-List object holding the objects of the type MatOfPoint.
A parameter of the type boolean specifying whether the poly-lines are closed.
A Scalar object representing the color of the polygon.
An integer representing the thickness of the polygon(default:1).

//Reading the source image in to a Mat object
Mat src = Imgcodecs.imread("D:\\images\\blank.jpg");
//Drawing an polygon
List<MatOfPoint> list = new ArrayList<MatOfPoint>();
list.add( new MatOfPoint (
new Point(208, 71), new Point(421, 161),
new Point(226, 232), new Point(332, 52),
new Point(363, 250)));
boolean isClosed = true;
Scalar color = new Scalar(64, 64, 64);
int thickness = 10;
Imgproc.polylines (src, list, isClosed, color, thickness);
//Saving and displaying the image
Imgcodecs.imwrite("arrowed_line.jpg", src);
HighGui.imshow("Drawing a polylines", src);
HighGui.waitKey();
}
}Output
On executing, the above program generates the following window −
