How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?

Question

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code? I would prefer to just run through a set of code every time I need a polygon. If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.

You could create a method that creates and returns x number of Rectangle elements:
public IEnumerable<Rectangle> CreateRectangles(int numberOfRectsToCreate)
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfRectsToCreate; ++i)
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
rect.Fill = Brushes.Blue;
rect.Width = 100;
rect.Height = 100;
yield return rect;
..and then call this method from anywhere in your code:
IEnumerable<Rectangle> rects = CreateRectangles(5);
foreach (Rectangle rect in rects)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
yourStackPanel.Children.Add(rect);

When adding Point objects to a Polygon you can only add one per call to the Add method but you could call the Add method inside a loop, e.g:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
Polygon p = new Polygon();
p.Points.Add(new Point());
