Abstract

Given a simple polygon we aim to find the equation of the straight line which bisects the area of the polygon in a given direction. Additionally, we would like to vary this direction with minimal additional calculation. We provide a solution in the case where the polygon is `bisection-convex', meaning that any straight line bisecting the area of the polygon contains exactly two points on the boundary of the polygon.
