# shape_taiwan

Returns shape points of [Taiwan](https://www.google.com.tw/maps?q=taiwan&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjai9XrqurTAhVIopQKHbEHClwQ_AUICygC). They can be used with xxx_extrude modules of dotSCAD. The shape points can be also used with the built-in polygon module. 

## Parameters

- `h` : The height of Taiwan.
- `distance` : Used for simplifying the shape. If the distance between a point and its previous points is not greater than `distance`, the point will be kept. Default to 0. **Since:** 1.3.

## Examples

	use <shape_taiwan.scad>

	polygon(shape_taiwan(10));
