definition

A plane figure bounded by edges that are all straight lines.

definition

The boundary of such a figure.

definition

(more generally) A figure comprising vertices and (not necessarily straight) edges, alternatingly.

definition

Such a figure and its interior, taken as a whole.

By considering the circle as the limit of a polygon, it follows that the formulae (iii) and (v) of § 26 hold for a right circular cylinder and a right circular cone; i.e.

This polygon falls under the definition of a reciprocal figure given by Clerk Maxwell, if we consider the frame as a point in equilibrium under the external forces.

This is the proposition known as the polygon of forces.

It is evident that a system of jointed bars having the shape of the funicular polygon would be in equilibrium under the action of the given forces, supposed applied to the joints; moreover any bar in which the stress is of the nature of a tension (as distinguished from a thrust) might be replaced by a string.

To every line in either of the original figures corresponds of course a parallel line in the other; moreover, it is seen that concurrent lines in either figure correspond to lines forming a closed polygon in the other.

Thus ii AB, BC, CD represent the given loads, in the force-diagram, we construct the sides corresponding to OA, OB, OC, OD in the funicular; we then draw the closing line of the funicular polygon, and a parallel OE to it in the force diagram.

Hence if a system of vertical forces be in equilibrium, so that the funicular polygon ii closed, the length which this polygon intercepts on the vertical through any point P gives the sum of the moments about P of all the forces on one side of this vertical.

Let all the resultants acting at the several centres of resistance be produced until they cut one another in a series of points so as to form an unclosed polygon.

Aligarh Fort, situated on the Grand Trunk road, consists of a regular polygon, surrounded by a very broad and deep ditch.

Further, at any one of the centres of load let PL represent the magnitude and direction of the gross load, and Pa, Pb the two resistances by which the piece to which that load is applied is supported; then wifl those three lines be respectively the diagonal and sides of a parallelogram; or, what is the same thing, they will be equal to the three sides of a triangleS and they must be in the same plane, although the sides of the polygon of resistances may be in different planes.

A curve tangential to all the sides of the polygon is the line of pressures.

Then, transferring the product Wr correspondinf with this balance weight to the reference plane, proceed to draw the force polygon.

The type was fixed on a large cylinder, and instead of the printing surface presenting a complete circle, the different columns were each arranged so as to form a polygon.

You can draw a closed polygon by finishing at the point you started.

He will tell us more about GLUT windows management and more about polygon rendering.

The yellow area was covered simply by using a rectangular shape rather than with a fiddly polygon.

It is convenient to introduce the function =log =log (Q / q) + 01 (4) so that the polygon representing 12 conformally has a boundary given by straight lines parallel to the coordinate axes; and then to determine S2 and w as functions of a variable u (not to be confused with the velocity component of q), such that in the conformal representation the boundary of the and w polygon is made to coincide with the real axis of u.

The external forces on a frame or bridge in equilibrium under those forces may, by a well-known proposition in statics, be represented by a closed polygon, each side of which is parallel to one force, and represents the force in magnitude as well as in direction.

We then have the polygon of forces Exaf, the reciprocal figure of the lines meeting at that point in the frame, and representing the forces at the point Exaf; the direction of the forces on EH and XA being known determines the direction of the forces due to the elastic reaction of the members AF and EF,, showing AF to push as a strut, while EF is a tie.

A single known force in a polygon determines the direction of all the others, as these must all correspond with arrows pointing the same way round the polygon.

Taking the circumference as intermediate between the perimeters of the inscribed and the circumscribed regular n-gons, he showed that, the radius of the circle being given and the perimeter of some particular circumscribed regular polygon obtainable, the perimeter of the circumscribed regular polygon of double the number of sides could be calculated; that the like was true of the inscribed polygons; and that consequently a means was thus afforded of approximating to the circumference of the circle.

Looking only at a polygon view of the silicate tetrahedra, we can see each is isolated from the other.

If you want to draw an unclosed polygon, you can use the new drawPolyline method instead.

The other problem comes when a hatch line passes through a vertex of the polygon.

Drawing polygons Use the polygon tool to click points representing the vertices of the required polygon.

The graphics chip tops at 166 megahertz and uses 2 MB of RAM, which gives it the ability to process complex polygon movement and 3D textures.

Eventually, despite its reported "64-bit" prowess, the Atari Jaguar just could not keep up with the polygon pushing power of the Sony PlayStation.

The first 3D Final Fantasy game features polygon baddies and a cinematic camera that swirls around the battlefield as you attack and cast spells.

The fourth installment, Mortal Kombat 4, replaced the digitized characters with 3D polygon models, a first for the series.

Lara Croft may look more like a real person, but the original polygon model may be a little more, er... effective, if you know what I mean.

For longer bridges the funicular polygon affords a method of determining maximum bending moments which is perhaps more convenient.
