Create A Regular Polygon
Create a window object representing a regular (equal-sided) polygon.
regularpolygon(n, edge = 1, centre = c(0, 0), ..., align = c("bottom", "top", "left", "right", "no")) hexagon(edge = 1, centre = c(0,0), ..., align = c("bottom", "top", "left", "right", "no"))
n |
Number of edges in the polygon. |
edge |
Length of each edge in the polygon. A single positive number. |
centre |
Coordinates of the centre of the polygon.
A numeric vector of length 2,
or a |
align |
Character string specifying whether to align one of the edges with a vertical or horizontal boundary. |
... |
Ignored. |
The function regularpolygon
creates a regular (equal-sided)
polygon with n
sides, centred at centre
,
with sides of equal length edge
.
The function hexagon
is the special case n=6
.
The orientation of the polygon is determined by the argument align
.
If align="no"
, one vertex of the polygon is placed on the
x-axis.
Otherwise, an edge of the polygon is aligned with one side of
the frame, specified by the value of align
.
A window (object of class "owin"
).
