Polygon
- class java.awt..Polygon 
public class Polygon extends Object implements Shape , Serializable 
Tree:java.lang.Object - java.awt.Polygon
The Polygon class encapsulates a description of a closed, two-dimensional region within a coordinate space. This region is bounded by an arbitrary number of line segments, each of which is one side of the polygon. Internally, a polygon comprises of a list of (, ) coordinate pairs, where each pair defines a of the polygon, and two successive pairs are the endpoints of a line that is a side of the polygon. The first and final pairs of (, ) points are joined by a line segment that closes the polygon.

POLYGON
POLYGONE is an Electronic Warfare Tactics Range located on the border between France and Germany. It is one of only two in Europe, the other being RAF Spadeadam.

The range, also referred to as the Multi-national Aircrew Electronic Warfare Tactics Facility (MAEWTF), is jointly operated by personnel from the United States, German and French Air Forces.

Both of the ranges are coordinated by CCC systems provided by Computer Application Services(www.casltd.co.uk) - SPICCCS at RAF Spadeadam & EPICCCS at Polygone. These systems additionally provide debrief products for aircrew

Polygon
In geometry a polygon is a plane figure that is bounded by a closed path or circuit, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments (i.e., by a closed polygonal chain). These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices or corners. The interior of the polygon is called its body. A polygon is a 2-dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions.
