Welcome to Polygon!

Version 2.0 final for Python 2.x

The 2.0 release brings some changes and improvements:
- Polygons can now be subclassed
- added a cloneContour method
- moved modules to a package
- moved i/o and shapes to separate modules
- moved from numeric to numpy
- dropped some old stuff, requires a recent python interpreter now (2.5...2.7)

Version 3.0 for Python 3.x

A version compatible with python-3 is under development (alpha version). The API is nearly identical to the 2.0 version.
The source code is available via SVN at https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/polygon/branches/3.0 .
