    A convex polygon in the plane can be uniquely determined by two directed X-rays, and with the exception of a simple class of polygons (parallel wedges), one directed X-ray will suffice [see e.g. \textit{R. J. Gardner}, Discrete Comput. Geom. 7, No. 3, 281-293 (1992; Zbl 0748.52003)]. A directed X-ray consists of integrals over all rays emanating from a fixed source. The authors prove that well known uniqueness theorem by elementary methods that lend themselves to computation and reconstruction. They give, probably for the first time, algorithms for reconstructing convex polygons from one directed X-ray.
