Needs a polygon example and support for same syntax as polyline about gmaps HOT 4 CLOSED

Speaking of polygons, it might be nice to make them easier to manipulate; it's slightly cumbersome having to to define the shape as an array of LatLng objects. It might be nicer to give center coordinates (or top-left, or some such) and then provide relative measurements for the different points.

That said, it should be possible to at least pass an array of pairs (i.e. arrays with 2 indices) of latitude and longitude, like for Polylines, if only for consistency.

I think given that it should take the same path format as a polyline, if a relative format is desired as an alternative then that should be defined for polyline and polygon at the same time. For my purposes I prefer absolute values, so I can just measure the exact latitude and longitude.

I don't think it'd be too hard to support both notations (array of arrays, or array of google.maps.LatLng objects), but it just seems unnecessary; I have no preference for either, other than an array of google.maps.LatLng is cleaner. Maybe someone has good arguments for using an array of arrays?

Array of arrays is much shorter and easier to read. It can also be directly serialized/deserialized to JSON. It's one of the key benefits of this library.
