Enlarge a polygon in C#
This example shows how you can enlarge a polygon by a certain distance. For example, you can use it to move the edges of the polygon outward by 10 pixels. The program lets you use the mouse to define the … Continue reading
Platonic Solids Part 1: What are the Platonic solids?
This is the first in a series of posts about the Platonic solids. These posts will show how to find the corners of six Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube (hexahedron), octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Deriving these values requires only algebra and … Continue reading
