# shape_cyclicpolygon
Returns shape points of a regular cyclic polygon. They can be used with xxx_extrude modules of dotSCAD. The shape points can be also used with the built-in polygon module.
## Parameters
- `sides` : The sides of the circle.
- `circle_r` : The radius of the circumcircle.
- `corner_r` : The radius of the circle at a corner.
- `$fa`, `$fs`, `$fn` : Check [the circle module](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Using_the_2D_Subsystem#circle) for more details.
## Examples
use <shape_cyclicpolygon.scad>
circle_r = 10;
corner_r = 3;
$fn = 24;
for(i = [0:2]) {
translate([i * circle_r * 2, 0, 0])
polygon(
shape_cyclicpolygon(
sides = 3 + i,
circle_r = circle_r,
corner_r = corner_r
)
);
}
for(i = [0:2]) {
translate([i * circle_r * 2, -circle_r * 2, 0])
polygon(
shape_cyclicpolygon(
sides = 4 + i,
circle_r = circle_r ,
corner_r = corner_r
)
);
}
