What does this have to do with TextPad?
How do you do this manually?
Can you select different shapes?
Do you add an shape, then drag its handles?
Do you click and drop a point, then drag and drop another point, then drag and drop the third point?
Are there keyboard commands?
What is the name of the program, perhaps someone here is already familiar with it.
It looks like you may know "x" and "Y" which are the adjacent and opposite sides of the triangle at the lower right. So, can you use the Tangent of the angle, as I recall the Tangent uses the opposite and adjacent edges of the triangle. Many programs have a Tan function that may help.
And again, why is this posted in TextPad forum?
