Plan with a five-sided figure and measurements
A compartmented layout and a polygonal (five-sided) plan element, annotated with dimensions
A planimetric drawing pairs a compartmented rectangular layout at the upper right with a polygonal, five-sided plan element at the lower left. The whole is annotated with measurements — 15, 100, and fractional quantities such as ¼ m 120, ½ m 46, ¾ m 40 and ½ p 30 — giving the sizes of the walls and their segments. The five-sided form has the character of a bastion in plan.

Compartmented plan with dimensions
A rectangular layout divided into compartments carries a set of measurements — 15, 100 and fractional quantities such as ¼ m 120, ½ m 46 and ¾ m 40 — recording the sizes of its walls and bays.
Five-sided (bastion-like) plan element
A polygonal, five-sided figure at the lower left, dimensioned with values such as 40 and 30, has the outline of a bastion set out in plan.
