add support for plotting polygons?

[bradenfrigoletto24]

I really like this tool, but I noticed it doesn't seem to currently support plotting polygon objects from MATLAB.

In my use case, I like to use shaded polygon objects to represent error bounds on data as opposed to using the built-in errorbar plotting functionality; I like the aesthetics of it and find it easier to read and interpret - see the attached sample where I compare the two. I create the polygons with the polyshape MATLAB function and add them to my figures with a simple plot call. When trying to convert the figure to a .tex using matlab2tikz() I get the following error: Warning: matlab2tikz does not know how to handle object with type "polygon"

Any chance m2t can add support for polygon objects?

To follow up on this, I recently discovered that using the patch plot command looks exactly the same as the polygon and is already supported by matlab2tikz. I'll use patch from now on.

@bradenfrigoletto24 Indeed, patch should give you very similar results.
Now, I do not have any time for matlab2tikz development, but I would think that this should be rather easy to implement based on the implementation of patch: i.e. an easy way to get started with writing the code.

If you would need any help on that, for that I could free up some time to mentor.
