Iterating through a set of polar coordinates












0















This plots five vertices of a pentagon:



begin{tikzpicture}
defVerts{
{0:1},
{72:1},
{144:1},
{216:1},
288:1
}

foreach Vert [count=i] in Verts {
% Draw vertex
node at (Vert) {textbullet};
}
end{tikzpicture}


However, this will not and report the error No shape named {288,1} is known.



begin{tikzpicture}
defVerts{
{0:1},
{72:1},
{144:1},
{216:1},
{288:1}
}

foreach Vert [count=i] in Verts {
% Draw vertex
node at (Vert) {textbullet};
}
end{tikzpicture}


Why does the last element of the array need to not be enclosed in braces?
