40,116
98,186
132,118

How would one determine the angle created from three points, such as those above?

Thanks,
Mark


Mark,

Or even easier. Set the Turtle at the apex and get the angle of the other two points.


on mouseUp
   startTurtle --Initiates the turtle graphics library
   penup
   setxy 98,186 --The vertex
   put direction(40,116) into A
   put direction(132,118) into B
   put B-A into dA
   put abs(dA) & cr & abs(180 - dA)  into msg box
   choose the browse tool
end mouseUP

(Assuming your middle point is the apex of the angle you want.)

To run this you will need the TG library. Run this in the msg box
