## Rounded_polygon
Draw a polygon with rounded corners. Each element of the vector is the XY coordinate and a radius. Radius can be negative for a concave corner.
Draw a polygon with rounded corners. Each element of the vector is the XY coordinate and a radius in clockwise order.
Radius can be negative for a concave corner.
Because the tangents need to be calculated to find the length these can be calculated separately and re-used when drawing to save calculating them twice.

### Functions
| Function | Description |
|:--- |:--- |
| `circle_tangent(p1, p2)` | Compute the clockwise tangent between two circles represented as [x,y,r] |
| `rounded_polygon_length(points, tangents)` | Calculate the length given the point list and the list of tangents computed by ` rounded_polygon_tangents` |
| `rounded_polygon_tangents(points)` | Compute the straight sections needed to draw and to compute the lengths |
