# MaxPolygon

This script generates a diagram of the largest possible regular polygon that can fit inside a square sheet of paper. 

![A heptagon.](output/png/poly-7.png)

The diagram has side measurements that help you cut out a perfect, symmetrical shape that maximizes the use of the available surface area.

![A nonagon without labels.](output/png/cut-out-poly-9.png)

You can also tell the script to render a PDF that can be printed out and directly cut out.

a stands for anticlockwise and c stands for clockwise.




## Dependencies

You will need PIL, numpy and reportlab to run this script.

```pip install pillow numpy reportlab```




### Configuration

You can change constants under maxpolygon._config.py in order to modify the appearance.
