How to plot shapes in Julia

I would like to plot for example a square (or maybe more generally speaking a n-gon).
I know that I can plot "functions" that form a shape, like a circle:

n = 100
ϕ = range(0,stop=2*π,length=n)
x = cos.(ϕ)';
y = sin.(ϕ)';
plot(x,y)

enter image description here

But that turns out to be very difficult when it comes to a n-gon, I guess one could "stich" lines that can form a n-gon, but that seems very unpractical when you want to plot a 32-gon.
I talked a lot abou n-gons but I am more interested if Julia has some already build in way to plot different types of shapes.

You can use Luxor library, which provides ngon function (example from documentation).

using Luxor, Colors
Drawing(1200, 1400)

origin()
cols = diverging_palette(60, 120, 20) # hue 60 to hue 120
background(cols[1])
setopacity(0.7)
setline(2)

# circumradius of 500
ngon(0, 0, 500, 8, 0, :clip)

The documentation of the function itself can be found here.
