Regular Polygon

Description​

The RegularPolygon class, which inherits from Polygon, represents a regular polygon.

Details​

The default drawing style for a regular polygon is a fill rather than a stroke.

Constructor Parameters​

  • n (int, default=6): Number of sides.
  • radius (int, default=1): Radius of the circumscribed circle.
  • start_angle (int | None, default=None): Starting angle in degrees.
  • kwargs (dict): Additional arguments for Polygon.
    • corner_radius (float, default=0.0): Radius for rounding corners.

Attributes​

  • n (int): Number of sides.
  • radius (int): Radius of the circumscribed circle.
  • start_angle (int | None): Starting angle in radians (if provided).
  • vertices (Point3D_Array): Array of vertex points, where the units are manim coordinates.

Examples​

Example 1​

An octagon, tilted at an angle.

from smanim import *

octagon = RegularPolygon(n=8, start_angle=PI / 16)
canvas.add(octagon)
canvas.draw(crop=True, ignore_bg=True)
