    Let \(f\) be a Schwarz-Christoffel mapping of the unit disk \(\mathbb D\) onto the interior of an \((n+1)\)-gon. The first author et al. [Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Math. 36, No. 2, 449--460 (2011; Zbl 1239.30003); Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 140, No. 10, 3495--3505 (2012; Zbl 1283.30048)] have shown that the pre-Schwarzian of \(f\) has the form \[ \frac{f''}{f'}=\frac{2\frac{B_1}{B_2}}{1-z\frac{B_1}{B_2}} \] for some finite Blaschke products \(B_1\), \(B_2\) without common zeros, with respective degrees \(d_1,\;d_2\) satisfying \(d_1+d_2=n\). It is known that \[ \frac{f''}{f'}=-2\sum_{k=1}^{n+1}\frac{\beta_k}{z-z_k},\tag{1} \] where \(z_k\) are prevertices and \(2\pi\beta_k\) are the exterior angles ot \(z_k\). Theorem 2 says that \(d_2\) is equal to the number of concave vertices, while \(d_1+1\) is equal to the number of convex vertices. In Theorem 3 the authors characterize the mappings \(f\) onto the exterior of an \((n+2)\)-gon. Theorem 4 solves the problem of the univalence of solutions of (1). Namely, let \(0\leq t_1<\cdots <t_{n+1}<2\pi\), \(z_k=e^{it_k}\), \(\beta_k\in\mathbb R\) and \(\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} \beta_k=1\), \(\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} |\beta_k|\leq 2\). Then \(f\) defined by \[ f(z)=a\prod_{k=1}^{n+1}(z-z_k)^{-2\beta_k},\quad a\in\mathbb C\setminus\{0\}, \] is univalent in \(\mathbb D\). In the final part of the paper the authors study the geometric interplay between the location of the zeros of the Blaschke products and the separation of the prevertices.
