Hi,

I have a flat polygon in 3d and I would like to color it. So far, I could not do it. Please note that I do not want to decompose it with triangles.

Thank you for your help,

Best regards

```julia
using Plots
t=linspace(0,2pi,10)
    plot(cos(t),sin(t),zeros(length(t)),color=:red)

```

For reference, there is one Plots.jl solution [in this thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/plots-circle-in-3d-space/).
