dodecograms

A dodecogram is a type of polygon with twelve sides. Like any polygon, a dodecogram is a closed shape formed by straight line segments. The simplest dodecogram is the regular dodecagon, which has all sides equal in length and all interior angles equal in measure. In a regular dodecagon, each interior angle measures 150 degrees.

The term dodecogram can also refer to star polygons with twelve vertices. These are formed by connecting every nth vertex of a regular dodecagon. For example, a {12/5} dodecagram connects every fifth vertex. Star dodecagrams can have different appearances depending on the connection pattern. The number of points or cusps on a star dodecagram is also twelve.

Dodecagons and their star variants appear in various contexts, from geometry and art to architecture and design. Their twelve sides offer a balance between complexity and symmetry, making them aesthetically interesting. The study of dodecograms falls under the broader field of Euclidean geometry and the exploration of regular and irregular polygons.
