polygon

Python module to calculate geometric properties of arbitrary 2D polygons:

  • area, centroid (center of mass)
  • second moment of area (bending stiffness of beams)
  • triangles: incircle and circumscribed (outer) circle
  • solid of revolution: volume, surface areas, center of mass
  • check if point is inside or on edge of polygon
  • move, rotate and scale polygon
  • plotting with matplotlib arguments (e.g. color, linestyle, label)

examples:

https://github.com/gerritnowald/polygon/blob/main/examples/examples.ipynb

installation:

pip install polygon-math

creating a polygon object:

from polygon_math import polygon
Vertices = [[x0,y0],[x1,y1],[x2,y2],...]   # 2D-coordinates of vertices
instance = polygon(Vertices)
  • polygon can be open or closed (i.e. first = last vertex)
  • holes can be defined by self-intersecting and opposite order of vertices inside than outside

creating a solid of revolution:

instance = polygon(Vertices, axis)
  • axis = 0: revolution around x-axis
  • axis = 1: revolution around y-axis

attributes of polygon object (geometrical properties):

v: Vertex
e: Edge (next of v)
- IsClockwise                          Boolean, order of vertices
- Area
- Angles[v]                            inner angles
- EdgesLength[e]
- EdgesMiddle[xe,ye]                   midpoints of edges
- CenterMass[x,y]                      centroid / center of mass
- SecondMomentArea                     [Ixx, Iyy, Ixy], with respect to origin
- solid of revolution:
    - RotationVolume
    - RotationSurfaces[e]
    - CenterMassCrossSection[r,z]      CenterMass[r,z] now relates to solid
- triangles:
    - CenterOuterCircle[x,y]           circumcenter / center of circumsribed (outer) circle
    - RadiusOuterCircle                radius of circumsribed (outer) circle
    - CenterInnerCircle[x,y]           center of incircle (inner circle)
    - RadiusInnerCircle                radius of incircle (inner circle)

methods of polygon object:

- abs(instance)          returns area or volume of solid of revolution

- plotting (matplotlib optional arguments can be used)
    - plot                              contour of polygon
    - plotCenterMass
    - plotCenterEdges
    - solid of revolution:
        - plot3d                        3D wireframe plot of solid
        - plotRotationAxis              only keyword arguments
        - plotCenterMassCrossSection    for 2D plot
    - triangles:
        - plotOutCircle                 circumscribed (outer) circle
        - plotIncircle                  incircle (inner circle)

- point testing
    - instance(point), isPointInside(point)    true, if point [x,y] is inside of polygon (not on the edge)
    - isPointOnEdge(point)                     true, if point [x,y] is on any edge of polygon

- manipulation (translation, rotation & scaling)
    - instance + [dx,dy] , instance - [dx,dy] , move([dx,dy])
            translation by distances dx,dy in x,y-direction
    
    - centerOrigin()
            moves origin of coordinate system to center of mass
                                    
    - rotate(angle,[cx,cy]) , rotateClockwise(angle,[cx,cy])
            (counter)-clockwise rotation by angle / °
            with respect to point [cx,cy] (optional, default center of mass)
                                    
    - instance * [fx,fy] , instance / [fx,fy] , scale([fx,fy],[cx,cy])
            scaling by factors fx, fy in x,y-direction (negative: flip)
            with respect to point [cx,cy] (optional, default center of mass)
