This example creates a polygon with an inner hole, by defining an inner path wound in the opposite direction to the outer path. See the guide to polygons with holes. Note that you can also use the Data layer, which offers a simpler way of creating holes because it handles the order of the inner and outer paths for you.
You can also view this example full screen.
