AFAIK

First shape is a polygon with the line and fill set to the same colour.

Take the first shape, export it as something.shape
add it to a sheet and then insert it into the current diagram

Second shape is what you get
(it seems to be the polygon with a black outline with a very thin green
outline drawn over it)

The third shape is what happens if you edit something.shape
and entirely remove the section


<svg:polygon style="stroke-width  ...

which i had hoped would create only a filled rectangle
but instead it creates a filled rectangle with a black outline.

(The workaround is to specify a chunky outline the same colour as your
fill colour to obscure the black line)

Am i making any sense yet?
