Old question

I asked this once before and got a great answer. But I no longer have the message that told me how to do this, and a search of the mail list archives yields errors and no answers.

I want to make an equilateral septagon. There was some way to measure angles, but I cannot find it and cannot remember. Can someone point please?

Thanks-

Jim Clark

The sum of the angles in an equilateral n-gon is 180*(n-2) for n >= 3. That means for an equilateral 7-gon you have a total angle of 180*5 = 900, and each angle is 180*5/7 ~= 128.5 degrees. If you prefer using radians, s/180/pi.

Cheers, Dave.

You probably want to try using the gfig filter. Image->Filters->Render->gfig

HTH,
