Review text

In the last years many variants and generalizations of Pick's classical theorem on lattice polygons were developed. The authors give another one by introducing an orientation on the polygonal line. This concept is rather general: It allows multiple intersections and overlappings of the edges. For this they have to introduce rotation numbers, winding numbers and tangent numbers. Further no deadends or ``whiskers are allowed. From the last and characteristic property the authors call their polygons ``shaven and prove their generalization of Pick's theorem for shaven polygons.
