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.

◆ ConstructionOption

enum QgsRegularPolygon::ConstructionOption

A regular polygon can be constructed inscribed in a circle or circumscribed about a circle.

Enumerator
