Polygon: Use inner instead of outer radius

[ecstrema]

When creating a polygon, I often want to be able to create it with a radius based on the middle segment. For example, with hexagons:

What the radius currently sets

What I want to set as the radius

I don't know how this should be implemented. Should it be a toggle? It could be a simple custom component with a relatively simple trigonomery node also. Should it be implemented directly within the editor?

I currently don't realize what is the scope of these nodes. Should they be general? Should the provide the bare minimum to be composable into any wanted node?

[ecstrema]

If composable nodes get traction, it might end up where there are "libraries" for some node types: You want specialized shapes, let's say rounded rectangles? Use a library for that, etc. I don't know how much of a problem it could be. Cluttering the space could be an even bigger problem.

This would be a useful toggle in the Regular Polygon node.

Hi! I’d like to work on this issue.

I’ve understood that the current implementation uses the hexagon’s outer radius where the inner radius is expected, leading to incorrect geometry.

If this issue is not already being worked on, I’d be happy to start and submit a fix. Thanks!

@Parshv-sudo Yes, go for it and open a PR once you have it fully working and tested.
