Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Equilateral triangles

[coachbennett1981]

I am trying to draw an equilateral triangle without much success. I am able to draw right triangles based on \specialcoor feature, but this is for right triangles. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{exam}
\usepackage{geometry}             
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-coil}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\usepackage{pst-func}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\listfiles
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(0,-3)(5,3)
\SpecialCoor
\pspolygon(0,0)(3;60)(3;60|3,0)
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}

It's simple to do with TikZ:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{exam}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
 \draw [blue,line width=1.5pt] (0,0) -- (60:3) -- (3,0) -- cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Either \PstTriangle from the pst-poly package or simply in polar coordinates.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}

\begin{document}
  \pspolygon(2;90)(2;210)(2;330)
\end{document}
