Cartesian coordinates for regular polygons: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7198144/how-to-draw-a-n-sided-regular-polygon-in-cartesian-coordinates Let's assume you want to draw an N-sided polygon of radius r, centred at (0,0). Then the n vertices are given by: x[n] = r * cos(2*pi*n/N) y[n] = r * sin(2*pi*n/N) where 0 <= n < N. Note that cos and sin here are working in radians, not degrees (this is pretty common in most programming languages). If you want a different centre, then just add the coordinates of the centre point to each (x[n], y[n]). If you want a different orientation, you just need to add a constant angle. So the general form is: x[n] = r * cos(2*pi*n/N + theta) + x_centre y[n] = r * sin(2*pi*n/N + theta) + y_centre
