SHFXRegularPolygon.aip is a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator 2025 (mac/win).
Adds an effect that converts the selected path to a regular polygon.
Although simple in function, this repo is actually an example of creating a LiveEffect plug-in configuration dialog using Dear ImGui .

Adobe Illustrator 2025 (macOS (Apple Silicon) / Windows)
Adobe Illustrator 2025 SDK
Xcode 14.2 / macOS 13.1 sdk / MacOS Ventura
MacBook Air (M1)
Visual Studio 2022 / Windows11
Open myImGuiDialog_mac/myImGuiDialog.xcodeproj and build libmyImGuiDialog.a first. Then open SHFXRegularPolygon.xcodeproj and build SHFXRegularPolygon.aip
Open SHFXRegularPolygon.sln and build solution.
Projects will be built in the order of myImGuiDailog_win and SHFXRegularPolygon .
- Place "SHFXRegularPolygon_aip" folder directly under Illustrator SDK's samplecode folder.
- (Windows) To build with the attached project file, it is necessary to convert the character code of the source code (.cpp, .h, .hpp) from UTF-8 to Multibyte(cp932).
- The python names and paths in Build Phases/Run Script(mac) and Build Events(win) are from my environment, so please change them accordingly. (Starting with Illustrator SDK 2025, the version of python used in the build is 3.11.)
(After build) Place SHFXRegularPolygon.aip in the Adobe Illustrator plugin folder or additional plugin folder.
The next time Illustrator runs, the plugin will be loaded and "StayHomeFX" will be added to the "Effects" menu.
After selecting a path, select "Regular Polygon -SHFX" from the submenu to show the effect setting window.
Note: "StayHomeFX" is a temporary name, and will be changed to another one at a later date. The abbreviation SHFX remains the same.
