Hello,

How can I get the second method to draw all of the points in a closed
polygon?

(* Method 1 ... do not like solid drawing *)

drawPoly[n_] := Module[{datalist},
    datalist = Table[N[{Cos[t], Sin[t]}], {t, 0, 2 Pi, (2Pi)/n}];
    Show[Graphics[Polygon[datalist]], AspectRatio -> Automatic]]

(* Try an example *)

drawPoly[5]

(* Method 2 ... does not draw closed polygons? *)

ComplexListPlot[points_, options___] :=
  ListPlot[Map[{Re[#1], Im[#1]} &, points], options,
    AxesLabel -> {"Re", "Im"}]

f[n_] := Table[N[Exp[2*Pi*I*a/n]], {a, 0, n - 1}]

datalist = f[5]

ComplexListPlot[datalist, PlotStyle -> PointSize[0.02], PlotJoined -> True]

How do I get the last plot to connect all of the points?

Thank you for any help.

To email, remove the _alpha1
