In cartography and architecture CAD systems it is usually necessary to have the capability to draw "automatic polygons. "These are closed elements with an angle at every joined line. The number of sides is up to the designer. The simplest automatic polygon is a rectangle(placed at any angle). These symbols are used for roughly defining the outlines of houses, buildings, swimming pools, and other features on a map.  1, record 6, English, - draw%20automatic%20polygon

This concept does not seem to have a set terminological unit to designate it in the target language. The concept does exist in the English language, however, as the following text indicates :"A frequency polygon is a line graph of class frequency plotted against class mark. It can be obtained by connecting midpoints of the tops of the rectangles in the histogram.... the sum of the areas of the rectangles in the histogram equals the total area bounded by the frequency polygon and the X axis...  2, record 9, English, - equivalence

A symmetrical distribution means that the middle class has the highest frequency and that the frequencies above the middle class of the distribution exactly correspond to the frequencies below the middle class. If the frequency distribution is shown by a bar chart(histogram) or a line chart(frequency polygon), a vertical line through the mid-point of the middle class may divide the graph into two perfect identical halves.  1, record 12, English, - symmetrical%20distribution
