For a polygon in the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Euclidean space, we give two kinds of normalizations of its [Formula: see text]th midpoint polygon by a homothetic transformation and an affine transformation, respectively. As [Formula: see text] goes to infinity, the normalizations will approach “regular” polygons inscribed in an ellipse and a generalized Lissajous curve, respectively, where the curves may be degenerate. The most interesting case is when [Formula: see text], where polygons with all its [Formula: see text]th midpoint polygons knotted are discovered and discussed. Such polygonal knots can be seen as a discrete version of the Lissajous knots.
