Today I'd like to introduce collected information about triangle in Small Basic.

How to Draw a Triangle

There was a forum question by CookiesUgh about drawing a triangle.  From the question, I wrote a TechNet Wiki article:

• Small Basic: How to Draw a Triangle

Mainly there are three operations to draw a triangle.

• GraphicsWindow.DrawTriangle


• GraphicsWindow.FillTriangle


• Shapes.AddTriangle

But you can draw triangles with other operations such as GraphicsWindow.DrawLine and Turtle.Move.

Triangle Area Calculator

There is a TechNet Wiki article about a triangle area calculator written by Ed Price and Majed Marji.

• Small Basic Sample: The Triangle Area Calculator

This article is originally from User Ed blog.  In User Ed blog, there are lots of articles about Small Basic.  You can check them in:

• Small Basic Survival Guide

Rotation Centers for Shapes of Triangle

A triangle created by Shapes.AddTriangle() can be rotated by Shapes.Rotate() operation.  At that time, the rotation center depends on the parameters of Shapes.AddTriangle().  The detail is described in the following TechNet Wiki article.
