	A stained glass lamp		2011-07-25
		From Guy: Like Kay, I also work in stained glass, but in 3-dimensions. I am frequently asked to replicate lamp shades in stained glass where the diameter of the top is different (narrower) from the diameter of the bottom (which is wider). Some people want 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, ,,, n-sided shades. Is there a formula I can use to determine the width of the sides using the angle, if I remember correctly, I think it's called theta. In other words, is there a formula where I can plug in the angle which describes the arc of the circle. For instance, if someone asks for a 7 sided shade, plugging in 51.43 (360/7). I could then use that to determine the width at the top and bottom rings to create the appropriate trapezoids. I've visited a few sites so the formula looks like its a function of sin & cos but they are presented like proofs for teaching. Your site appears to want to actually answer questions without making the inquirer feel stupid. Answered by Harley Weston.

	Resizing a polygon		2005-11-26
		From Anthony: I am currently working on a mapping program in which polygons, rectangles, circles, etc... are rotated, moved, and resized. Recently, I used the rotation conversion formula to rotate the items n degrees/radians by using the point and the center point of the shape. Currently, I am working on resizing the shape (length and/or width) while still trying to maintain the integrity of the shape. I basically want to decrease or increase the y value by 1 in order to resize the length and I want to decrease or increase the x value by 1 in order to resize the width. The corresponding x and y values either increase by 1, stay the same, or decrease by 1. Is it possible to use just the point and center of the shape in order to calculate this resizing? What can I use to accomplish this task? Answered by Chris Fisher.

	A polygon inscribed within an ellipse - Part 2		2002-07-08
		From Steven: I recently sought your advice about a problem that I have been working on for eight years or so concerning a polygon inscribed within an ellipse. I think that I may have confused matters by the way in which I put the question and hope that the enclosed diagram will clear matters up. In the ellipse below I have drawn three chords inscribed within one quadrant ( this would pertain to a twelve sided figure within the whole ellipse). These chords are exactly the same length as each other, for example if the major axis of the ellipse was 360 and the minor axis 240 I have worked out that a twelve sided figure would have sides of 78.2487. However I worked this out empirically with a method that could only be described as gruelling I would be most grateful if you could tell me of a method that would work for any ellipse and any number of sides. Answered by Chris Fisher.
