- Polygon( <Point>, ..., <Point> )
- Returns a polygon defined by the given points.
- Example:
Polygon((1, 1), (3, 0), (3, 2), (0, 4))
yields a quadrilateral.
- Polygon( <Point>, <Point>, <Number of Vertices> )
- Creates a regular polygon with n vertices.
- Example:
Polygon((1, 1), (4, 1), 6)
yields a hexagon.
- Polygon( <List of Points> )
- Returns a polygon defined by the points in the list.
- Example:
Polygon({(0, 0), (2, 1), (1, 3)})
yields a triangle.
- Polygon( <Point>, <Point>, <Number of Vertices n>, <Direction> )
- Creates a regular polygon with n vertices, and directed by the direction (e.g. a plane to which the polygon will be parallel, if possible).
Note: See also Polygon and Regular Polygon tools.
