- Namespace

ToPolygon(int)
Approximates the circle as a polygon.
public GeoPolygon3 ToPolygon(int segmentCount)Parameters
segmentCountintHow many edges the polygon should have; at least three.
Returns
- GeoPolygon3
A polygon inscribed in the circle, sharing its orientation.
Exceptions
- ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Thrown when fewer than three segments are asked for.
ToPolygon()
Approximates the circle as a polygon, cut finely enough that it strays no further from the circle than GeometryHelper.Internal.Tessellation.AutomaticChordRatio of its radius.
public GeoPolygon3 ToPolygon()Returns
- GeoPolygon3
A polygon inscribed in the circle, sharing its orientation.
Remarks
The vertices lie on the circle, so the polygon is inscribed and encloses slightly less than the circle does: about 0.26 % less at the fifty edges the automatic tolerance gives.
