Polygon Viewer

2024-11-19

I worked on this project a very long time ago. It can be used to create some fun pictures and things with the Web and Spiral Tools. I just recently added the circumcircle and the incircle display features.

Originally it was meant to be a sort of tool for teaching geometry, but it never really managed that. More so it was meant to look cool. Everything in this is based on easily searchable geometry formulas, but here are some of the most notable. $$\text{Area} = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{Perimeter}\cdot\text{Apothem}$$ (This one is displayed prominently)

Each point is just the previous point with an angle added to it. This angle is $\dfrac{2\pi}{n}$ where $n$ is the number of sides. This would be a little bit more interesting if it were done with OpenGL, so I might end up rewriting it in that.
