Isogonal Polygon

An isogonal polygon is the same thing as an equiangular polygon:

An equiangular polygon is a polygon in which all the vertices have the same angle.

Isogonal Polyhedron

Let $P$ be a polyhedron.

Let $P$ be such that it has the property that each vertex can be mapped to every other vertex by means of a symmetry mapping on $P$.

Then $P$ is described as isogonal.
