<h2>Constructing the square:</h2>

<p>The following is the parent for polygons with coordinates in the field K.</p>
<p>Remarks:</p>
<ul>
<li>The first vertex of our polygons is always the origin.</li>
<li>All our polygons are convex.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<p>To construct a polygon, use the parent to build the parent. Passing a list of edge vectors will produce the polygon. The edge vectors must sum to zero.</p>
