OK, I see. Perhaps we should just call it a StarPolygonCollection

Also, in your patch, unless I am missing something, it looks like you
could simply do something like
scale = 0.5/math.sqrt(math.pi)
r = scale*ones(self.numsides*2)
rather than
+ r = 1.0/math.sqrt(math.pi) # unit area
+ r = asarray( [r]*(self.numsides*2) )
+ for i in xrange(1,len(r),2):
+ r[i] *= 0.5
Ie, do everything in numerix, rather than in python.
When you get all of this incorporated, if you could send one patch
against svn that includes all of the changes I'll check it in (if
noone else has any corrections or comments).
Thanks again,
JDH
