rectangle(point1, point2, point3) or
rectangle(point1, point2, realk)

Examples:

rectangle(GA, GB, GE) draws a rectangle whose first

two vertices are points A and B (one side is segment AB).
Point E is on the line that contains the side of the rectangle
opposite segment AB.

rectangle(GA, GB, 3, p, q) draws a rectangle whose

first two vertices are points A and B (one side is segment AB).
The sides perpendicular to segment AB have length 3*AB.
The third and fourth points are stored into the CAS variables
p and q, respectively.

Polygon

Draws a polygon from a set of vertices.

polygon(point1, point2, …, pointn)

Example:

polygon(GA, GB, GD) draws ΔABD

Regular Polygon

Draws a regular polygon given the first two vertices and the

number of sides, where the number of sides is greater than 1.

If the number of sides is 2, then the segment is drawn. You can

provide CAS variable names for storing the coordinates of the

calculated points in the order they were created. The

orientation of the polygon is counterclockwise.

isopolygon(point1, point2, realn), where realn
is an integer greater than 1.

Example

isopolygon(GA, GB, 6) draws a regular hexagon

whose first two vertices are the points A and B.

Square

Draws a square, given two consecutive vertices as points.

square(point1, point2)

Example:
Example: square(0, 3+2i, p, q) draws a square with vertices
at (0, 0), (3, 2), (1, 5), and (-2, 3). The last two vertices are
