As of Version 12.0, all the functionality of the Polytopes package is built into the Wolfram System. »
Polytopes Package
This package contains functions that give geometrical characteristics of regular polygons. Polygons are identified by name (Digon, Decagon, etc.) in function arguments and in results.
NumberOfVertices[p] | number of vertices in polygon |
NumberOfEdges[p] | number of edges in polygon |
NumberOfFaces[p] | number of faces in polygon |
Vertices[p] | list of vertex coordinates for polygon |
Area[p] | area of polygon when edges have unit length |
InscribedRadius[p] | radius of the inscribed circle of polygon when edges have unit length |
CircumscribedRadius[p] | radius of the circumscribed circle of polygon when edges have unit length |
Faces[p] | list of faces from vertex numbers for polygon |
Geometrical characteristics of polygons.
Digon | polygon with 2 edges |
Triangle | polygon with 3 edges |
Square | polygon with 4 edges |
Pentagon | polygon with 5 edges |
Hexagon | polygon with 6 edges |
Heptagon | polygon with 7 edges |
Octagon | polygon with 8 edges |
Nonagon | polygon with 9 edges |
Decagon | polygon with 10 edges |
Undecagon | polygon with 11 edges |
Dodecagon | polygon with 12 edges |
The functions Area, InscribedRadius, and CircumscribedRadius give information for a polygon with edges of length 1. The list of coordinates returned by Vertices is conventional for the specified polygon and does not necessarily correspond to a polygon with unit edge length.
