Polygon Maker 0.1  360 dot polygon

version date 9/21/24

I.  Intro:

I was disappointed that 360 sided polygons looked like circles.  Had tried and struggled with pythonturtle, svg, and freecad.  This is my attempt to make one.  

II.  Making the template

A.  I found a template to guide in plotting a 360 sided polygon from Dr. Rainer Hessmer.  Have used his Online Involute Spur Generator Gear Builder version 2.0
I dont know the values used but may find a screenshot later I took around that time using openshot.
... from memory
B.  I opened the svg file I downloaded using openboard.  
C. plotted 90 of 360 points in gimp.
D.  Viewed the points in LibreCalc Chart Scatterplot, SVG and corrected some errors.
E.  Found out how to rotate the points on Carteesian Coordinate system quadrants 1-4  (may make a program that does this)
F.  Used gnu plot to output text files to pdf.
G.  Used a combination of spreadsheet and notepad++ to format the text files.
