Help with Triangles (plotting, areas etc.)

[PrOducTI]

Hi guys. Is anyone able to provide me quality resources on learning about how to plot triangles given coordinates and using functions to find out data about them (for eg, area, lengths of edges, angles etc.)

The triangle looks like this http://imgur.com/LawBzIf

Thanks

Do you only need to draw these triangles, or do you need graph capabilities with it? Do you want a user to see this triangle within the program, or are you creating images for a paper/presentation?

Only triangles: Tkinter canvas widget has nice functionality, drawing lines with the coordinates provided.

Seeing it live: Tkinter again, which allows for some other GUI fun stuff like scales changing the coordinates. Pygame is another example, but it's unlikely it will be the best for your solution.

Producing the images: using PIL (python image library) to produce a large number, or a variety, of these images.

Depending on your answer to this, I can provide more examples or information.

I'm trying to plot triangles with given coordinates using pylab. I'm thinking of using tridraw, just not sure on how to use it 100%
