We investigate in this paper the poidge-convexity, which is a generalization of right convexity, introduced by one of the present authors in 2014. Although not every convex body is poidge-convex, there are many families of compact sets, some of them very different from convex bodies, which are poidge-convex. We present here several such families.
Keywords: Poidge-convexity, starshaped sets, topological discs, polyhedral surfaces.
