 Polygon Summary
Polygons are named to indicate the number of their sides or number of noncollinear points present in the polygon.
If a polygon is simple, then its sides (and vertices) constitute the boundary of a polygonal region, and the term polygon sometimes also describes the interior of the polygonal region (the open area that this path encloses) or the union of both the region and its boundary.
Polygons are named according to the number of sides, combining a Greek-derived numerical prefix with the suffix -gon, e.g.

If a polygon is simple, then its edges (and vertices) constitute the boundary of a polygonal region, and the term polygon sometimes also describes the interior of the polygonal region (the open area that this path encloses) or the union of both the region and its boundary.
The area of a polygon is the measurment of the 2-dimensional region enclosed by the polygon.

Regular polygons have sides of the same length, and all the exterior angles are equal.
Common polygons have names that define the number of sides (for example, triangle (3), quadrilateral (4), pentagon (5), hexagon (6), heptagon (7), octagon (8), and so on).
Therefore, the more sides a polygon has, the larger the sum of its internal angles and, in the case of a convex polygon, the more closely it approximates to a circle.

 The Model in Space
In this step, the normal vector of each polygon is compared with the view direction and those polygons found to be facing away from the viewer are eliminated from further processing.
To represent a shadow edge, or a line segment on a polygon separating an area lit by the light source from an area in shadow, it would not be sufficient to refer to the polygon on which the shadow falls.
A shadow edge is a line segment on the surface of a polygon in the input such that the two views of the light source in the neighborhood on either side of the shadow edge are different.

 Method and apparatus for generating a topologically consistent visual representation of a three dimensional surface - ...
using the linked members of the set of polygon vertex points to generate a piecewise polygonal approximation that is topologically consistent with the isosurface, in that the polygonal approximation partitions the signal pattern into the same pattern groupings as does the isosurface; and using the polygonal approximation to generate an image representative of the body.
Coordinates of each member of the set of polygon vertex points are interpolated using a respective data vector belonging the first group and a respective data vector belonging to the second group, wherein the data vectors used correspond to cube vertices located on the same edge of the cubic cell.
The polygon generator receives the polygon vertex points from the interpolator and links the polygon vertex points to generate a network of polygons that is topologically consistent with the isosurface.

In Euclidean geometry, a circle is the set of all points at a fixed distance, called the radius, from a fixed point, called the centre (center).
Then imagine the same exercise with an octagon (eight-sided figure), and the approximation is a little closer to the area of a circle.
As a regular polygon with more and more sides is divided into triangles and the area calculated from this, the area becomes closer and closer to the area of a circle.

In raster data the cell value can store attribute information, but it can also be used as an identifier that can relate to records in another table.

 Watershed
A 'watershed' is a region of land where water flows into a specified Body of water, such as a River, Lake, Sea, or Ocean.
In the Thiessen polygon method, the watershed is divided into polygons with the rain gauge in the middle of each polygon assumed to be representative for the rainfall on the area of land included in its polygon.
These polygons are made by drawing lines between gauges, then making perpendicular bisectors of those lines form the polygons.

 Re: new sigil
In the expected disambiguation from above the construction is interpreted in a somewhat convoluted way to describe two *independent* right angled triangles with area T/2 = 0.5*a*(a+b) each.
With the resulting area P = a**2 + b*x where x = (a*b)/(a+b) is the length from the corner to the point where the diagonals intersect the sides of the square.
The two triangle interpretation in that case should switch to a two trapezoid interpretation while the polygon interpretation should give a constant area P = a**2 when -a <= b < 0.

The direct bearers of vagueness are a word's full disambiguations such as ‘tall for an eighteenth century French man’.
When a travel agent says ‘France is a hexagon’, we do not infer that she has committed the geometrical error of classifying France as a six sided polygon.
The mere fact that an ambiguous statement comes out true under all its disambiguations does not show that the statement itself is true.

 Topological Considerations in Isosurface Generation - van Gelder, Wilhelms (ResearchIndex)
Abstract: A popular technique for rendition of isosurfaces in sampled data is to consider cells with sample points as corners and approximate the isosurface in each cell by one or more polygons whose vertices are obtained by interpolation of the sample data.
That is, each polygon vertex is a point on a cell edge, between two adjacent sample points, where the function is estimated to equal the desired threshold value.
Since these gradients are computed for the shading (see the next section) they are available for disambiguation as well.

By placing a backdrop behind the model and taking 10 additional scans, we were able to see through the space between the base and the Buddha's garments, allowing us to carve space and fill the holes in the base.

For example, a footprint for the state of Hawaii might consist of a union of disjoint polygons, one per island.
For example, an implementation may disallow polygons that enclose a pole.

A pyramid is any three-dimensional structure where the upper surfaces are triangular and converge on one point.
The base of pyramids are usually quadrilateral or trilateral (but generally it can be any polygon shape), meaning that a pyramid usually has three or four sides (but theoretically there is no limit to the number of sides a pyramid can generally have), but all pyramids must have trilateral sides.
The measurements of these triangles uniformly classify the shape as isosceles and sometimes equilateral.

The shape of the aperture is commonly believed to have a great influence on the subjective quality of bokeh.
When a lens is stopped down to something other than its maximum aperture, out-of-focus points are blurred into the polygonal shape of the aperture rather than perfect circles.
Some lenses have aperture blades with curved edges to make the aperture more closely approximate a circle rather than a polygon.
