Examples

// Create a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle of radius 10
hex = startSketchOn('XY')
  |> polygon({
       radius = 10,
       numSides = 6,
       center = [0, 0],
       inscribed = true
     }, %)

example = extrude(5, hex)

// Create a square circumscribed around a circle of radius 5
square = startSketchOn('XY')
  |> polygon({
       radius = 5.0,
       numSides = 4,
       center = [10, 10],
       inscribed = false
