SURE, THE POINTS ARE THE LOCATION ON THE UNIT CIRCLE WHERE THE
VERTICES OF THE OCTAGON ARE LOCATED. THE POINTS BEGIN IN MID
FIRST QUAD AND ROTATE COUNTER CLOCKWISE AND ENDUP AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE FIRST QUAD. PLOT YOUR POINTS MANUALLY AND
YOU WILL SEE THEY DO JUST WHAT YOU WANT, ALMOST.
THE VERTICES OF THE OCTAGON AND THE TEXT OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE
AND THE VERTICES OF THE OCTAGON OVERLAY THE TEXT FOR THE POINTS.
SOLUTION IS TO EITHER SHRINK OR EXPAND THE CIRCLE THAT CONTAINS
THE TEXT DATA. EASY TO DO WITH TRIG. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM,SEND
ME A NOTE.
