We consider the construction of a polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices whose turning angles at the vertices are given by a sequence $A=(alpha_0,ldots, alpha_{n-1})$, $alpha_iin (-pi,pi)$, for $iin{0,ldots, n-1}$. The problem of realizing $A$ by a polygon can be seen as that of constructing a straight-line drawing of a graph with prescribed angles at vertices, and hence, it is a special case of the well studied problem of constructing an emph{angle graph}. In 2D, we characterize sequences $A$ for which every generic polygon $Psubset mathbb{R}^2$ realizing $A$ has at least $c$ crossings, for every $cin mathbb{N}$, and describe an efficient algorithm that constructs, for a given sequence $A$, a generic polygon $Psubset mathbb{R}^2$ that realizes $A$ with the minimum number of crossings. In 3D, we describe an efficient algorithm that tests whether a given sequence $A$ can be realized by a (not necessarily generic) polygon $Psubset mathbb{R}^3$, and for every realizable sequence the algorithm finds a realization.
Given a colored point set in the plane, a perfect rainbow polygon is a simple polygon that contains exactly one point of each color, either in its interior or on its boundary. Let $operatorname{rb-index}(S)$ denote the smallest size of a perfect rain
When can a plane graph with prescribed edge lengths and prescribed angles (from among ${0,180^circ, 360^circ$}) be folded flat to lie in an infinitesimally thin line, without crossings? This problem generalizes the classic theory of single-vertex fla
We characterize the triples of interior angles that are possible in non-self-crossing triangles with circular-arc sides, and we prove that a given cyclic sequence of angles can be realized by a non-self-crossing polygon with circular-arc sides whenev
We study several problems concerning convex polygons whose vertices lie in a Cartesian product (for short, grid) of two sets of n real numbers. First, we prove that every such grid contains a convex polygon with $Omega$(log n) vertices and that this
Motivated by indoor localization by tripwire lasers, we study the problem of cutting a polygon into small-size pieces, using the chords of the polygon. Sever
