Polygon.from_sides_and_radius_xy
- classmethod Polygon.from_sides_and_radius_xy(n, radius)
Construct a polygon from a number of sides and a radius. The resulting polygon is planar, equilateral and equiangular.
- Parameters
n (int) – The number of sides.
radius (float) – The radius of the circle the polygon will be circumscribed to.
- Returns
Polygon
– The constructed polygon.
Notes
The first point of the polygon aligns with the Y-axis. The order of the polygon’s points is counterclockwise.
Examples
>>> from compas.geometry import dot_vectors >>> from compas.geometry import subtract_vectors >>> pentagon = Polygon.from_sides_and_radius_xy(5, 1.0) >>> len(pentagon.lines) == 5 True >>> len({round(line.length, 6) for line in pentagon.lines}) == 1 True >>> dot_vectors(pentagon.normal, [0.0, 0.0, 1.0]) == 1 True >>> centertofirst = subtract_vectors(pentagon.points[0], pentagon.centroid) >>> dot_vectors(centertofirst, [0.0, 1.0, 0.0]) == 1 True
