A triangle toy

Description

Richard Suchenwirth 2003-07-01: Yet another educational Tcltoy to play with triangles. Corners and sides are named, and the length of each side and angle at each corner is displayed.

  Draw a rectangle by clicking on three points.
  Click on a corner to see its x/y coordinates.
  Move selected corner with the cursor keys.
  Click Clear to start a new triangle."

Challenge: construct rectangular (one angle 90°), isosceles (two angles equal), 
equilateral (all angles 60°) triangles - the last I haven't managed yet, 
because of integer pixel resolution. 
Stronger challenge: fix ''assignNames'' so it always maintains counter-clock 
sense for A, B and C.
