Re:x2 inheritance and object creation (naming polygons)

After all, a 71-sided polygon has no name

Yes it has, it goes by the gentle name of monoheptacontagon, in case you were wondering :o)

Ok, but what about a 73-sided polygon? I meant to say 73-sided polygon :)	[reply]

triheptacontagon. You're going to lose this one - there's a naming scheme for polygons, just like there is for molecules. (I actually work with someone who had to come up with the "official" name for various forms of carbon nanotubes. It's not easy, but it is relatively straightforward.) ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety.
