This might be a stupid question, but what is the difference between a
Polygon and Patch? A Polygon is subclassed from a Patch. The only real
substantial difference I see is that a Polygon object has logic flagging
and ensuring that it has a closed ring, but does that really merit a whole
new class?
What makes things even more confusing is that RegularPolygon and
CirclePolygon are not even subclassed from Polygon.
I wonder if we might want to consider folding in some of Polygon's
functionality into Patch, and simply let Polygon be an alias for Patch
(after all, a polygon is usually what people think of when they really want
a patch).
Just a thought.

Thanks for that information. I am putting together a PR that corrects those
links and also makes a few other small documentation changes. Hopefully,
this will be the last change needed for v1.4.0!
Cheers!

This has been discussed on the agg mailing list and the new official site is:
http://agg.sourceforge.net/antigrain.com/index.html
(antigrain.com was down for a while then up for ~ 1 month and is now broken again, not sure what happened).
And the project is still alive.

We link to antigrain.com from our documentation, but it seems that the link
is down now. Is this just a temporary thing, or has it been down for a
while?
Is the project still active since the passing of its main developer, or
perhaps it moved elsewhere?
