Digon by a line segment, without affecting the overall characteristics. The cyclic groups may be obtained as rotation symmetries of polygons: the rotational symmetries of the digon provide the group C. Digon In geometry, a digon is a polygon with two sides (edges) and two vertices. Its construction is degenerate in a Euclidean plane because either the two sides would coincide or one or both would have to be curved; however, it can be easily visualised in elliptic space. A regular digon has both angles equal and both sides equal and is represented by Schläfli symbol {2}. It may be constructed
Euclidean tilings by convex regular polygons figures, which are also called "m"-Archimedean tilings. For edge-to-edge Euclidean tilings, the internal angles of the polygons meeting at a vertex must add to 360 degrees. A regular -gon has internal angle formula_1 degrees. There are seventeen combinations of regular polygons whose internal angles add up to 360 degrees, each being referred to as a "species" of vertex; in four cases there are two distinct cyclic orders of the polygons, yielding twenty-one "types" of vertex. Only eleven of these can occur in a uniform tiling of regular polygons, given in previous sections. In particular, if three polygons meet at a
