Regular convex and star polygons from 3 to 12 vertices labelled with their Schläfli symbols

Hi Perey,

I really like your work on File:Regular_Star_Polygons-en.svg, especially the diagonal lines linking those derived from the same primitive, so hope you don't mind that I updated it as on the right:

  1. Swapping rows and columns lets me fit more n along with Schläfli symbols without it being too tall.
  2. Colour-coding polygons consisting of multiple "parts".
  3. Shading the background of those derived from the same primitive.
  4. Adding a legend to avoid cluttering up the main graphic and filling up the empty space.

I also think that ordering them in increasing q shows highlights the more interesting star polygons — those with higher q look very similar, just sharper corners.

I've reduced n to 12 as I think the stars appear more and more similar as n increases. 12 is also a multiple of 2, 3 and 4. Lastly, I won't need as many different background shades.

Please let me know if you've any thoughts on this.

Thanks,
