This can be done by making wall textures transparent, or modifying the game maps to insert polygonal holes into otherwise solid walls.

The external walls, which have a circuit of about 3 km, are constructed of polygonal masonry ; the blocks are carefully jointed, and the faces smoothed.

The walls include interval towers along the north and west stretches, St Mary's Tower at the northwest corner and a polygonal water tower by the river.

The Etruscan site ( called Cusi or Cosia ) may have been where modern Orbetello stands ; a fortification wall in polygonal masonry at Orbetello's lagoon may be in phase with the walls of Cosa.

A bay window is a window space projecting outward from the main walls of a building and forming a bay in a room, either square or polygonal in plan.

The walls of the cella and the terrace wall of the sanctuary platform are built in the Lesbian polygonal style of masonry.

The town walls consist of Byzantine and medieval towers erected along the Volscian and Roman curtain wall, in " polygonal " style similar to those of Constantinople.

Attractions include the circuit walls in polygonal masonry

The well-preserved walls are in the polygonal style, over 2. 5 km in circuit, and are entirely embankment walls, not standing free above the internal ground level.

of terraces supported by walls of polygonal work, and approached by a road similarly supported.

Many of the original city walls still exist, built of large blocks of limestone in the polygonal style.

Mathematicians are often concerned only with the closed polygonal chain and with simple polygons which do not self-intersect, and may define a polygon accordingly.

Objects that can be described in terms of spheres, planar surfaces, cylinders, tori and the like are perfectly smooth and mathematically accurate in POV-Ray renderings, whereas polygonal artifacts may be visible in mesh-based modeling software.

" Rearrangement " means that one may apply a translation and a rotation to every polygonal piece.

Minarets may be conical ( tapering ), square, cylindrical, or polygonal ( faceted ).

Occasionally, small cell malignancies may themselves have significant components of slightly polygonal and / or spindle-shaped cells.

CSG can also be performed on polygonal meshes, and may or may not be procedural and / or parametric.

Occasionally spherulites have zones of different colors, and while most frequently spherical, they may also be polygonal or irregular in outline.

In Romanesque, Byzantine and Gothic Christian abbey, cathedral and church architecture, the term is applied to a semi-circular or polygonal termination of the main building at the liturgical east end ( where the altar is ), regardless of the shape of the roof, which may be flat, sloping, domed, or hemispherical.

Distinctive features of American Queen Anne style ( rooted in the English style ) may include an asymmetrical facade ; dominant front-facing gable, often cantilevered out beyond the plane of the wall below ; overhanging eaves ; round, square, or polygonal tower ( s ); shaped and Dutch gables ; a porch covering part or all of the front facade, including the primary entrance area ; a second-story porch or balconies ; pedimented porches ; differing wall textures, such as patterned wood shingles shaped into varying designs, including resembling fish scales, terra cotta tiles, relief panels, or wooden shingles over brickwork, etc.

The valley floors are covered with loose gravel, in which ice wedge polygonal patterned ground may be observed.

The symbolism of the castle architecture may have reflected the Welsh family roots — historian Matthew Johnson has suggested that the polygonal towers were possibly designed to imitate those of Caernarvon Castle, whose architecture carries numerous allusions to the eventual return of a Roman Emperor to Wales.

For example, a volume may be viewed by extracting isosurfaces ( surfaces of equal values ) from the volume and rendering them as polygonal meshes or by rendering the volume directly as a block of data.

Mathematically a polygonal mesh may be considered an unstructured grid, or undirected graph, with additional properties of geometry, shape and topology.

Targets may be acquired manually or by using the annular and polygonal automatic acquisition zones.

Mathematicians typically use " polygon " to refer only to the shape made up by the line segments, not the enclosed region, however some may use " polygon " to refer to a plane figure that is bounded by a closed path, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments ( i. e., by a closed polygonal chain )..

For example, referring to the image above, the polygonal chain ABCBA is a weakly simple polygon: it may be viewed as the limit of " squeezing " of the polygon ABCFGHA.

The same algorithm may also be used for determining whether a closed polygonal chain forms a simple polygon.

Therefore, unlike simple polygons, a complex polygon may not always be interpreted as a simple polygonal region.

Infrequently, roughly polygonal pieces of the veil may remain on the surface.

Visibility graphs may be used to find Euclidean shortest paths among a set of polygonal obstacles in the plane: the shortest path between two obstacles follows straight line segments except at the vertices of the obstacles, where it may turn, so the Euclidean shortest path is the shortest path in a visibility graph that has as its nodes the start and destination points and the vertices of the obstacles.

Although uncommon, polygonal rifling is still used in some weapons today with one example being the Glock line of pistols ( which fire standard bullets ).

Of the Roman city, which had a polygonal form, parts of the fortified gate and remains of some edifices with marble and mosaics can still be seen.

The rim has a polygonal appearance along most of the perimeter, and traces of terraces can still be seen along sections of the inner wall.

Despite this, he does go on to comment that " the game still suffers from polygonal clipping problems ".

The first title's biggest claim to fame was its full 3D graphics engine, used for the first time in a home console football game ; although other console games had used a 3D field, players were commonly still 2D sprites but in Actua Soccer players were polygonal.

There are also a set of circumstances where the polygonal approximation is still linearly dependent but the eigenvalue is equal to zero.

The lower one are still according to the polygonal shape of the body and contains small niches with statues of boddhisatvas seated on lotus.
