Comments

Rotations are counted only once, but reflections are considered different. For a polygon to be nondegenerate, the longest side must be shorter than the sum of the remaining sides (equivalently, shorter than n/2).

A formula is given in Section 6 of the East and Niles article.

Examples

			For example, there are 6 rotation-classes of perimeter-8 pentagons: 32111, 31211, 31121, 31112, 22211, 22121.  Note that 32111 and 31112 are reflections of each other, but these are not rotationally equivalent.
