  Type: Mathematica package

  A Mathematica package for the transformation of polygons and curves using the Midpoint Polygon Transformation. The package might be a useful tool for various animations, e.g. the changing of shape of polygons, curves and surfaces to an ellipse, knots unraveling, ordered movement of particles, etc. It defines eight functions which illustrate linear transformations of polygons in a plane and the theorems stated the paper "Midpoint Polygon Transformation". The enables the user to explore further properties of particular polygons and the transformation.
