Detailed Description

Regular Polygon geometry type.

A regular polygon is a polygon that is equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). The regular polygon is defined by a center point with a number of sides/vertices, a radius and the first vertex.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsRegularPolygon() [1/4]

QgsRegularPolygon::QgsRegularPolygon ( )

default

Constructor for QgsRegularPolygon.

◆ QgsRegularPolygon() [2/4]

QgsRegularPolygon::QgsRegularPolygon	(	const QgsPoint &	center,
		double	radius,

Parameters

pt1	The first vertex of the first side, also first vertex of the regular polygon.
pt2	The second vertex of the first side.
numberSides	Number of sides of the regular polygon.
