How to make Polygon in SymPy from a list of vertices

Question

I want to use SymPy to create a Polygon with n faces and calculate all parameters.

The easy form is

from sympy import Polygon
p1, p2, p3, p4, p5 = [(0, 0), (1, 0), (5, 1), (0, 1), (3, 0)]
Polygon(p1, p2, p3, p4, p5)

Polygon(Point(0, 0), Point(1, 0), Point(5, 1), Point(0, 1))

but I want to use n points from a list, for example

p = [(0, 0), (1, 0), (5, 1), (0, 1), (3, 0)]
Polygon(p)

But this form and similar is not validated.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You could do this by putting an asterisk in front of the list of parameters to expand it out, like so:

p=[(0, 0), (1, 0), (5, 1), (0, 1), (3, 0)]
Polygon(*p)

This will be equivalent to calling Polygon((0, 0), (1, 0), (5, 1), (0, 1), (3, 0)).
