coords.Coords.circulize#

Coords.circulize(n)#

Transform sectors of a regular polygon into circular sectors.

Parameters#

n: int

Number of edges of the regular polygon.

Returns#

Coords

A Coords where the points inside each sector of a n-sided regular polygon around the origin are repositioned to fill a circular sector. The polygon is in the x-y-plane and has a vertex on the x-axis.

Notes#

Points on the x-axis and on radii at i * 360 / n degrees are not moved. Points on the bisector lines between these radii are moved maximally outward. Points on a regular polygon will become points on a circle if circulized with parameter n equal to the number of sides of the polygon.

Examples#

>>> Coords([[1.,0.],[0.5,0.5],[0.,1.]]).circulize(4)
Coords([[ 1.    ,  0.    ,  0.    ],
        [ 0.7071,  0.7071,  0.    ],
        [-0.    ,  1.    ,  0.    ]])
