Draw an Equilateral Triangle

  1. Open a new document and enter Insert Line mode and draw a triangle.
  2. Exit Insert Line mode, select the last point variable inserted (P_2) and add the constraint "=rotate(P_0, P_1, pi/3)". This puts P_2 at the point obtained by rotating P_0 around P_1 an angle of pi/3 radians. (If more comfortable using degrees than radians, write "=rotate(P_0, P_1, toRadians(60).)
  3. Save the document as equilateral_triangle_1.svg in the Basic Shapes folder.
