Star polygons in art and culture Star polygons in art and culture Star polygons and polygonal compounds are the basis for numerous figures of significance in arts and culture. The figure may be the border or interior of the polygon, or one or more closed polygonal paths that include all of the border and also have some legs crossing the interior. Impressions of astronomical stars provide the term, but specific uses may exploit the connection or not. Stars often represent the unity of states within a country when they are used as a part of the flag. The five-pointed star, if drawn with points of equal
Skew apeirogon they can be called quasiregular. Example quasiregular skew apeirogons can be seen in the Euclidean tilings as truncated Petrie polygons in truncated regular tilings: In hyperbolic geometry, regular skew apeirogons are similarly found like in the Euclidean plane. Hyperbolic regular skew apeirogons also exist as Petrie polygon zig-zagging edge paths on all of the regular tilings of the hyperbolic plane. And again like Euclidean space, hyperbolic quasiregular skew apeirogons can be constructed as truncated petrie polygons within the edges of a truncated regular tiling. A helical skew apeirogon can exist in three dimensions, where the vertices can be seen as
