Hello. I am using sympy for a project and I need to use 3D polygons. I managed to use planes, but I think it could be a lot more useful having built-in 3D polygons.
I would like to contribute adding the functionality, but I am not a python or a sympy expert. How can I start?

Hi
My name is Mohammad Najafi. I'm from Iran.
I have a question about this your email.
Can you explain this email for me?
I don't understand it very well.

Jamie and Mohammad,


Once you have gone through the tutorial, reviewed the documentation, and open issues you can then ask more questions about how to move forward.

Hello Mohammad, I am asking how can I start adding functionality to the polygon geometry entity because it currently supports only 2D polygons.

Jamie,

You'll need to study the 2D class here: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/sympy/geometry/polygon.py and start thinking about what a class might look like for 3D. You may have to start by working on the core geometry classes so they can fully support 3D geometry: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/sympy/geometry/entity.py.

Hi
I'm going to read it and answer you.
I hope we can work together.
Thanks a lot for your invitation.

How can I modify code from the polygon file and execute it locally for making the test process without creating pull requests? I only need to execute the tests of that class

You can run the tests locally by running e.g

$ bin/test sympy/geometry

in the terminal from the SymPy root directory.
