This function returns a data set of two observations. Each observation is a triangle for one half of a rhombus. The location, direction, and shape of the rhombus is determined through the parameters.
return_rhombus(point_x, point_y, rotation, side_length, shape)
| point_x | Starting x position for first point |
|---|---|
| point_y | Starting y position for first point |
| rotation | Rotation about the starting position in degrees |
| side_length | Length of one outside edge |
| shape | Ether "t" for thin rhombus or "T" for thick rhombus |
Data set of triangles that join to create a rhombus
The starting point of rhombus is given by the point_x and
point_y parameters. This will appear in the data set as
point1_x and point1_y. The rotation in degrees will turn
the rhombus around this point while side_length will change the size.
Finally, shape will provide either a thick or thin rhombus. A "t" for
the shape parameter will yield a thin rhombus. Anything else will provide a
thick one, but traditionally a "T" is used.
