    The author studies the bifurcation of a family of polynomial vector fields \(\dot{z}=z(z^k+\epsilon_1 z+\epsilon_0)\) in the complex plane with two parameters. The powerful tool of the ``periodgon'' is used to describe the bifurcation diagrams. The periodgon is a new invariant introduced by the author and \textit{A.Chéritat} [``Generic 1-parameter pertubations of a vector field with a singular point of codimension \(k\)'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1701.03276}] to characterize a polynomial vector field up to a rotation of order \(k\) if it is monic and centered. Later, it has been generalized in [\textit{M. Klimeš} and the author, Conform. Geom. Dyn. 22, 141--184 (2018; Zbl 1403.37057)] to all generic polynomial vector fields. With the help of this tool, the bifurcations of parabolic points and homoclinic loops through infinity are investigated. For a generic 2-parameter unfolding of a parabolic point of codimension \(k\) preserving the origin, the author raises an interesting question of whether there exists a unique normal form in which the parameters are uniquely defined (i.e., canonically defined) if the origin is fixed in the unfolding.
