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 10 rotation-classes of perimeter-9 hexagons: 411111, 321111, 312111, 311211, 311121, 311112, 222111, 221211, 221121, 212121. Note that 321111 and 311112 are reflections of each other, but these are not rotationally equivalent.
