Polygons by the number of sides | Elementary shapes

Heptagon

In geometry, a heptagon or septagon is a seven-sided polygon or 7-gon. The heptagon is sometimes referred to as the septagon, using "sept-" (an elision of septua-, a Latin-derived numerical prefix, rather than hepta-, a Greek-derived numerical prefix; both are cognate) together with the Greek suffix "-agon" meaning angle. (Wikipedia).

Phase space representation of the billiard in Reuleaux-like heptagons

The billiard in this simulation is obtained by replacing the sides of a regular heptagon by circular arcs. The radius of the arcs varies between the 1 and 50, when measured in terms of the circumradius of the initial heptagon. A genuine "Reuleaux heptagon", similar to the Reuleaux triangle
