Zonogons: Minkowski Sums of Line Segments in 2D
Wolfram Demonstrations Project · 2008
The Minkowski sum of two subsets in the plane, and , is the set of all sums , where and . This Demonstration shows the Minkowski sum of line segments with an endpoint at the origin. The line segments joining the origin to all possible sums of the endpoints are also shown. The Minkowski sum of two line segments is a parallelogram. With more segments, the resulting figure is called a zonogon, which,
