Class: QgsRegularPolygon

class qgis.core.QgsRegularPolygon

Bases: sip.wrapper

Constructor for QgsRegularPolygon.

QgsRegularPolygon(center: QgsPoint, radius: float, azimuth: float, numberSides: int, circle: QgsRegularPolygon.ConstructionOption) 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:
  • center – The center of the regular polygon.
  • radius – Distance from the center and the first vertex or sides (see ConstructionOption).
  • azimuth – Angle in degrees started from the North to the first vertex.
  • numberSides – Number of sides of the regular polygon.
  • circle – Option to create the polygon. see ConstructionOption

QgsRegularPolygon(center: QgsPoint, pt1: QgsPoint, numberSides: int, circle: QgsRegularPolygon.ConstructionOption) Constructs a regular polygon by center and another point.

Parameters:
  • center – The center of the regular polygon.
  • pt1 – The first vertex if the polygon is inscribed in circle or the midpoint of a side if the polygon is circumscribed about circle.
  • numberSides – Number of sides of the regular polygon.
  • circle – Option to create the polygon inscribed in circle (the radius is the distance between the center and vertices) or circumscribed about circle (the radius is the distance from the center to the midpoints of the sides).

QgsRegularPolygon(pt1: QgsPoint, pt2: QgsPoint, numberSides: int) Constructs a regular polygon by two points of the first side.

Parameters:
  • pt1 – The first vertex of the first side, also first vertex of the regular polygon.
  • pt2 – The second vertex of the first side.
  • numberSides – Number of sides of the regular polygon.

QgsRegularPolygon(QgsRegularPolygon)

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.
