| Aug 1, 2015 at 16:30 | comment | added | Anton Petrunin | @YoavKallus, I do not like it because it brakes one notion into parts; I want to have "polygon" which has sides, diagonals, boundary, interior exterior and say hull, but I do not want to name any of these parts by "polygon". | |
| Aug 1, 2015 at 15:03 | comment | added | Yoav Kallus | Another option would be to use "polygonal chain" or "polygonal curve" for what you're calling a "polygon", and "polygon" for the closed region. | |
| Aug 1, 2015 at 13:19 | comment | added | Anton Petrunin | @FedorPetrov,@TomGoodwillie It should look like "something of the polygon", say "closed domain of polygon" or "closed region of polygon". But anyway did you see these terms used? | |
| Aug 1, 2015 at 11:44 | comment | added | Fedor Petrov | I would say "closed polygonal domain". | |
| Aug 1, 2015 at 11:06 | comment | added | Tom Goodwillie | closed polygonal region? | |

| Jul 30, 2015 at 21:19 | comment | added | Anton Petrunin | @JosephO'Rourke, I am afraid that "solid" might be associated with 3D, like "solid geometry". | |
| Jul 30, 2015 at 11:48 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | I like your neologism "solid polygon." I have not seen that used before, but it seems appropriate. | |
| Jul 30, 2015 at 11:41 | comment | added | Anton Petrunin | @JosephO'Rourke, this is bad terminology, for me polygon is not a set, say in general $\triangle ABC\not\cong \triangle BAC$ but for solid triangles (which are sets) we always have $\blacktriangle ABC\cong \blacktriangle BAC$. | |
| Jul 30, 2015 at 11:27 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | Often in computational geometry, "polygon" means the closed region $P$, your solid polygon, and the boundary is $\partial P$. | |
