Good day. Please forgive me if I've knocked at the wrong door. I am wondering: Is there any way to specify a 30-60-90 triangle without considering the length of the side which is incommensurable with the other two? It would seem odd to me if a person needed to describe this special triangle by first choosing some arbitrary precision with which to express the special side. A path instruction like "turn 135 degrees, counter-clockwise" followed by a "move forward 2 units" seems like a sequence that a rendering engine could understand and would be better at choosing a precision for than a person would be. (Remember the "Logo turtle"?) Also please forgive me if I've missed something obvious. I searched around for a couple of hours before sending this note. Thank you for your consideration. -- Shao Miller Synthetel Corporation E: [email protected] W: https://www.synthetel.com
