class sage.plot.hyperbolic_polygon.HyperbolicPolygon(pts, model, options)[source]#

Bases: HyperbolicArcCore

Primitive class for hyperbolic polygon type.

See hyperbolic_polygon? for information about plotting a hyperbolic polygon in the complex plane.

INPUT:

  • pts – coordinates of the polygon (as complex numbers)

  • options – dict of valid plot options to pass to constructor

EXAMPLES:

Note that constructions should use hyperbolic_polygon() or hyperbolic_triangle():

sage: from sage.plot.hyperbolic_polygon import HyperbolicPolygon
sage: print(HyperbolicPolygon([0, 1/2, I], "UHP", {}))
Hyperbolic polygon (0.000000000000000, 0.500000000000000, 1.00000000000000*I)

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.plot.hyperbolic_polygon import HyperbolicPolygon
>>> print(HyperbolicPolygon([Integer(0), Integer(1)/Integer(2), I], "UHP", {}))
Hyperbolic polygon (0.000000000000000, 0.500000000000000, 1.00000000000000*I)

Filling a hyperbolic_polygon in hyperboloid model is possible although jaggy. We show a filled hyperbolic polygon in the hyperboloid model with coordinates \((1,1,\sqrt(3))\), \((0,2,\sqrt(5))\), \((2,0,\sqrt(5))\). (The doctest is done at lower resolution than the picture below to give a faster result.)

....:                    color='yellow', fill=True)
