===Equality and symmetry=== * [[Equiangular polygon|Equiangular]]: all corner angles are equal. * [[Equilateral polygon|Equilateral]]: all edges are of the same length. * [[Regular polygon|Regular]]: both equilateral and equiangular. * [[Cyclic polygon|Cyclic]]: all corners lie on a single [[circle]], called the [[circumcircle]]. * [[Tangential polygon|Tangential]]: all sides are tangent to an [[inscribed circle]]. * Isogonal or [[vertex-transitive]]: all corners lie within the same [[symmetry orbit]]. The polygon is also cyclic and equiangular. * Isotoxal or [[edge-transitive]]: all sides lie within the same [[symmetry orbit]]. The polygon is also equilateral and tangential. The property of regularity may be defined in other ways: a polygon is regular if and only if it is both isogonal and isotoxal, or equivalently it is both cyclic and equilateral. A non-convex regular polygon is called a ''regular [[star polygon]]''.
