Irregular Star Polygons
A star polygon need not be regular. Irregular cyclic star polygons occur as vertex figures for the uniform polyhedra, defined by the sequence of regular polygon faces around each vertex, allowing for both multiple turns, and retrograde directions. (See vertex figures at List of uniform polyhedra)
The unicursal hexagram is another example of a cyclic irregular star polygon, containing only D2h Dihedral symmetry.

Famous quotes containing the words irregular and/or star:
“The irregular and intimate quality of things made entirely by the human hand.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Exhaust them, wrestle with them, let them not go until their blessing be won, and, after a short season, the dismay will be overpast, the excess of influence withdrawn, and they will be no longer an alarming meteor, but one more brighter star shining serenely in your heaven, and blending its light with all your day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
