Regular polygons with integer-coordinate vertices: one proof for all n

Discrete geometry is a recent field of research concerned with "discrete objects," such as graphs and tilings. But it also offers a fresh perspective on problems that are difficult to solve in a continuous setting, including the existence of regular polygons with integer-coordinate vertices.
