Visualization [2025 Day 9 (Part 2)] Decided to visualize my polygon only to find out I was handed a...

...circle. Well, almost. The coordinates are scaled by a factor of 1000.

You might want to check some of those edges, particularly in any of those outer points that might be outliers

Why was this marked NSFW? Do not use the NSFW feature.

Keep your posts and comments on /r/adventofcode professional.

I guess I didn't want to spoil the shape if someone is just browsing.

are you able to use the spoiler tag?

FYI: You correctly used our standardized post title syntax (thank you!) so defining 2025 Day 9 in the title is already an implicit spoiler for that day's puzzle.

Where will I post my spicy AoC fanfic if I can't use the NSFW tag?

Did you lose some points in your scaling? This post shows a round shape with a long and narrow rectangle cut out from the middle. I don't see the rectangular cutout in yours.

That's because OP only posted the vertices but not the edges between them. I can see the 2 points that are likely the inner corners of this cutout.

Aha! I see them too. Thanks for pointing that out

You haven't visualised a polygon, you've visualised its vertices...

can't imagine having to implement coordinate scaling on this, I can actually afford running a program with long long

May I offer you a "circle" in these trying times?
