to the not quite roundness of these (16agons? :) I'm having some problems

<Warning Type=Nitpick>

I believe the word for 16 is Hex, thus a 16 edged (star?) would be named a
Hexagon. Just thought I'd give you a name to use. Fredrik is much better in
explaining what you asked for so I'll leave it to him. =)


A hexagon is 6-sided;  I think a 16 sided polygon is a hexadecagon, but I'm
not certain.

(...) Yes, I think it is a hexadecagon too, but I thought I'd confirmed this in my dictionary once, but now it's not there ! Chris (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
