Yes there is, but it's not a straight forward process. There's a
document
describing the format of 'rmd' files on the Yaroze site that you will
need to 
refer to. For some reason, the playstation library does not include a
data
structure to create and manipulate polygons (as far as I know). The
library
functions are geared toward manipulating 'rmd' data files. So, when you
create your polygons you have to emulate the rmd format in order to make
use of the library functions. 

It would be extremely helpful if someone (perhaps Sony tech. support)
could
create a Very simple demo illustrating how to create polygons on the
fly.
