Geometric details: OPQR is a unit square. The arc centred on O through Q is drawn, as is the perpendicular bisector of OP. The en:Neusis construction involves finding unit interval AB through P with A on the perpendicular bisector and B on the arc. Angle PAO is the interior angle of a heptagon. The remainder of the construction can be carried out with ruler and compass. (Two of the vertices lie on the lines OR and PQ.)
