Thank you for answering the question. This was not the mental model for how I expected it to work. What other applications mimic this process for rotating? Typically as you change the number the objects rotates immediately. Just curious as to your thoughts…

Hi Andrew, I got your point now. Actually the number of degree in the floating pane is not a property of the triangle, we just provide a command for rotating the triangle. Yes it is kind of confusing.

We are thinking about a better way to control the shape, maybe allow user to input the three points? Just like this: 100,200;120,210;90,230
