An image with two polygon-subdivision charts

There is a chart type which is somewhat similar to pie, but instead of a circle - the divided shape is a regular polygon, i.e. a polygon whose edges and edge-angles are uniform (and has rotational symmetry). The number of edges may or may not match the number of categories represented. Each category gets a slice of the chart which must have some length of some edge, i.e. none is isolated and surrounded by other subdivisions. Categories may or many not each have at least one vertex.

A (double) example is attached.

This type of chart does not seem to be widespread. Which application can produce such charts? Where are such charts defined?

I don't know that they are. I would say they are inspired by geometric islamic art:

perhaps I was too hasty to request this.
