s are equiangular polygons which alternate two edge lengths. For clarity, a planar equiangular polygon can be called ''direct'' or ''indirect''. A direct equiangular polygon has all angles turning in the same direction in a plane and can include multiple turns. Convex equiangular polygons are always direct. An indirect equiangular polygon can include angles turning right or left in any combination. A

where edges are extended as infinite lines. Each edges can be independently moved perpendicular to the line's direction. Vertices represent the intersection point between pairs of neighboring line. Each moved line adjusts its edge-length and the lengths of its two neighboring edges. If edges are reduced to zero length, the polygon becomes degenerate, or if reduced to ''negative'' lengths, this will reverse the internal and external angles. For an even-sided direct equiangular polygon, with internal angles θ°, moving alternate edges can invert all vertices into supplementary angles, 180-θ°. Odd-sided direct equiangular polygons can only be partially inverted, leaving a mixture of supplementary angles. Every equiangular polygon can be adjusted in proportions by this construction and still preserve equiangular status.

''q'', each internal angle is 180(1-2''q''/''p'')°, with 1<2''q''<''p''. For ''w''=gcd(''p'',''q'')>1, this represents a ''w''-wound (''p''/''w'')/(''q''/''w'') star polygon, which is degenerate for the regular case. A concave ''indirect equiangular'' (''p''''r''+''p''''l'')-gon, with ''p''''r'' right turn vertices and ''p''''l'' left turn vertices, will have internal angles of 180(1-2/, ''p''''r''-''p''''l'', ))°, regardless of their sequence. An ''indirect star equiangular'' (''p''''r''+''p''''l'')-gon, with ''p''''r'' right turn vertices and ''p''''l'' left turn vertices and ''q'' total turns, will have internal angles of 180(1-2''q''/, ''p''''r''-''p''''l'', ))°, regardless of their sequence. An equiangular polygon with the same number of right and left turns has zero total turns, and has no constraints on its angles.

''q''. Convex equiangular ''p''-gons <''p''> have internal angles 180(1-2/''p'')°, while direct star equiangular polygons, <''p''/''q''>, have internal angles 180(1-2''q''/''p'')°. A concave indirect equiangular ''p''-gon can be given the notation <''p''-2''c''>, with ''c'' counter-turn vertices. For example, <6-2> is a hexagon with 90° internal angles of the difference, <4>, 1 counter-turned vertex. A multiturn indirect equilateral ''p''-gon can be given the notation <''p''-2''c''/''q''> with ''c'' counter turn vertices, and ''q'' total turns. An equiangular polygon <''p''-''p''> is a ''p''-gon with undefined internal angles θ, but can be expressed explicitly as <''p''-''p''>θ.
