Formula & conventions
The polygon is regular and profile width is perpendicular to each side. Size can reference corners or flats. For odd-sided polygons these are circumcircle and incircle diameters, not distances between actual opposite corners or faces.
s = 2a × tan(π/n); α = 180°/n
Position origin: left edge or base indicated in the drawing.
