### Description {#desc}

Specifies the "Polygon" type of geo object.

If [ymaps: GeoObject](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/ymapsml/doc/en/ref/reference/ymaps-GeoObject.md) has this tag, it indicates that the geo object is a polygon. The tag is a container for the descriptions of the exterior ([gml:exterior](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/ymapsml/doc/en/ref/reference/gml-exterior.md)) and interior ([gml:interior](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/ymapsml/doc/en/ref/reference/gml-interior.md)) boundaries of a polygon.

{% note alert %}

In Yandex.Maps JavaScript API versions 1.x, holes in polygons are not supported.
