Isothetic Polygon
An isothetic polygon is a polygon whose alternate sides belong to two parametric families of straight lines which are pencil (mathematics), pencils of lines with centers at two points (possibly the point at infinity). The most well-known example of isothetic polygons are rectilinear polygons, and the former term is commonly used as a synonym for the latter one. Etymology and history The term is produced from Greek roots: ''wiktionary:iso-, iso-'' for "equal, same, similar" and (position, placement), i.e., the term is supposed to mean "polygon with similarly placed sides". The term was suggested during the early years of the computational geometry. Much emphasis was placed on the development of Analysis of algorithms, efficient algorithms for operations with orthogonal polygons, since the latter ones had an important application: representation of shapes in integrated circuit integrated circuit layout, mask layouts due to their simplicity for design and manufacturing. It was obs ...
