Drawing and Editing Objects

uTo draw a triangle

1. Perform the following operation: 3(Draw) – 8:Triangle.

2. Move the pointer to any location on the display and then press w.

3. Move the pointer to another location.

•This causes a selection boundary to appear, indicating the size of the triangle that will be drawn.

4. Press w.

• This draws a triangle.

•If the location of the pointer when you press w is very close to the point you specifi ed in step 2, the triangle that is drawn will be the maximum size that fi ts in the screen.

Note

The same type of two-point selection boundary in the above procedure is also used when drawing an isosceles triangle, rectangle, square, or regular n-gon.

In each case, the resulting object will be the maximum size that fi ts in the screen if the second point specifi ed is too close to or at the same location of the fi rst point.
