In this paper the author presents a new form of hexagon and the solution of the open problem of classifying plane hexagons. In particular are illustrated the forms of crossed and simple n-gons for n = 3, 4, 5, 6 and also the forms of simple ones for n = 7, 8, 9. A graphic way to construct new forms of polygons is illustrated.
