To rotate a polygon by R radians around the point 0, 0:

<codeblock>
geopoly_xform($polygon, cos($R), sin($R), -sin($R), cos($R), 0, 0)
</codeblock>
























































<h1>Implementation Details</h1>

<p>The geopoly module is an extension to the [R-Tree extension].  Geopoly
uses the same underlying logic and shadow tables as the [R-Tree extension].
Geopoly merely presents a different interface, and provides some extra logic
to compute polygon decoding, overlap, and containment.

<h2>The geopoly_regular(X,Y,R,N) Function</h2>

<p>
The geopoly_regular(X,Y,R,N) function returns a convex, simple, regular,
equilateral, equiangular polygon with N sides, centered at X,Y, and with
a circumradius of R.  Or, if R is negative or if N is less than 3, the
function returns NULL.  The N value is capped at 1000 so that the routine
will never render a polygon with more than 1000 sides even if the N value
is larger than 1000.
