// draw a multicoloured triangle on the screen
x = 0
y = 1

points = [
    [ gwidth() / 3, gheight() / 3 ],
    [ gwidth() / 3 + gwidth() / 3, gheight() / 3 ],
    [ gwidth() / 2, gheight() - gheight() / 3 ]
]

shape_1 = createTriangle( points[0][x], points[0][y], points[1][x], points[1][y], points[2][x], points[2][y] )

setVertexColour( shape_1, 0, red )
setVertexColour( shape_1, 1, green )
setVertexColour( shape_1, 2, blue )
