Similar figures. In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or if one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other.More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection.
An isothetic polygon is a polygon whose alternate sides belong to two parametric families of straight lines which are pencils of lines with centers at two points (possibly the point at infinity). The most well-known example of isothetic polygons are rectilinear polygons , and the former term is commonly used as a synonym for the latter one.
With a construction system that can trisect angles, such as mathematical origami, more numbers of sides are possible, using Pierpont primes in place of Fermat primes, including -gons for equal to 7, 13, 14, 17, 19, etc. [6] Geometric Origami provides explicit folding instructions for 15 different regular polygons, including those with 3, 5, 6 ...
A polygon mesh of a dolphin In 3D computer graphics , polygonal modeling is an approach for modeling objects by representing or approximating their surfaces using polygon meshes . Polygonal modeling is well suited to scanline rendering and is therefore the method of choice for real-time computer graphics .
Voronoi polygons for a group of texels. In computer graphics, a texel, texture element, or texture pixel is the fundamental unit of a texture map. [1] Textures are represented by arrays of texels representing the texture space, just as other images are represented by arrays of pixels.
A chiliagram is a 1,000-sided star polygon. There are 199 regular forms [a] given by Schläfli symbols of the form {1000/n}, where n is an integer between 2 and 500 that is coprime to 1,000. There are also 300 regular star figures in the remaining cases. For example, the regular {1000/499} star polygon is constructed by 1000 nearly radial edges.
Some types of self-intersecting polygons are: the crossed quadrilateral, with four edges the antiparallelogram, a crossed quadrilateral with alternate edges of equal length the crossed rectangle, an antiparallelogram whose edges are two opposite sides and the two diagonals of a rectangle, hence having two edges parallel; Star polygons
