basic shapes by paul glennon 2005
As this was my first sketch the idea was to draw and colour basic shapes. The only real difficulty was the triangle. There is no width and height, just three sets of numbers for each corner of the triangle.
One tip that was useful when moving the triangle:
across - add equal amounts to 1st, 3rd and 5th numbers.
down - add equal
amounts to 2nd, 4th and 6th numbers.

size(300, 200);
background(0);
noStroke();
fill(255, 0, 0); //fill with the colours (R,G,B)
rect(120, 70, 60, 60); //this will set position and
size (x,y,w,h)
fill(0,0,255);
ellipse(70,100,60,60); //(x or across, y or down,w,h)
fill(255,255,0);
triangle(194, 130, 224, 70, 257, 130); // (x1,y1 - x2,y2
- x3,y3)
