polygon


polygon, a C++ code which computes properties of an arbitrary polygon in the plane, defined by a sequence of vertices, including interior angles, area, centroid, containment of a point, convexity, counter clockwise ordering, diameter, distance to a point, inradius, lattice area, nearest point in set, outradius, uniform sampling, and triangulation.
