PLstar
by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - PL/Point Lists
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 2.1, Creation date: 2015-01-01, Last change: 2025-09-14
returns a 2D point list of a star or star segment
Description
PLstar starts not(!) at (R,0), but the first edge is going in y-direction. This has been done to simply generate squares or 2*n-Polygons. By using the offset angle, it is possible to start where you want.
