A direct equiangular polygon has all angles turning in the same direction in a plane and can include multiple turns. Convex equiangular polygons are always direct. An indirect equiangular polygon can include angles turning right or left in any combination. A skew equiangular polygon may be isogonal, but can't be considered direct since it is ...
Equiangular: all corner angles are equal. Equilateral: all edges are of the same length. Regular: both equilateral and equiangular. Cyclic: all corners lie on a single circle, called the circumcircle. Tangential: all sides are tangent to an inscribed circle. Isogonal or vertex-transitive: all corners lie within the same symmetry orbit. The ...
In geometry, a polytope (e.g. a polygon or polyhedron) or a tiling is isogonal or vertex-transitive if all its vertices are equivalent under the symmetries of the figure. This implies that each vertex is surrounded by the same kinds of face in the same or reverse order, and with the same angles between corresponding faces.
In Euclidean geometry, a regular polygon is a polygon that is direct equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). Regular polygons may be either convex or star.

An isogon may refer to: Isogonal figure - a polygon or polyhedron with all of its vertices equivalent under the symmetries of the figure. A type of contour line Contour line#Types
Equiangular may refer to: . Equiangular lines, a set of lines where every pair of lines makes the same angle; Equiangular polygon, a polygon with equal angles; Logarithmic spiral or equiangular spiral, a type of geometric spiral
Computing the maximum number of equiangular lines in n-dimensional Euclidean space is a difficult problem, and unsolved in general, though bounds are known. The maximal number of equiangular lines in 2-dimensional Euclidean space is 3: we can take the lines through opposite vertices of a regular hexagon, each at an angle 120 degrees from the other two.
