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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsRegularPolygon() [1/4]

QgsRegularPolygon::QgsRegularPolygon ( )
default

Constructor for QgsRegularPolygon.

◆ QgsRegularPolygon() [2/4]

QgsRegularPolygon::QgsRegularPolygon ( const QgsPoint center,
double  radius,
double  azimuth,
unsigned int  numberSides,
ConstructionOption  circle 
)

Constructs a regular polygon by center and parameters for the first vertex.

An empty regular polygon is returned if numberSides < 3 or ConstructionOption isn't valid.

Parameters
centerThe center of the regular polygon.
radiusDistance from the center and the first vertex or sides (see ConstructionOption).
azimuthAngle in degrees started from the North to the first vertex.
numberSidesNumber of sides of the regular polygon.
circleOption to create the polygon.
