Here's a quick X-ACTO knife-free SAS ODS Graphics take on a neat Xmas craft project (Steph Curry ornaments sold separately). Happy Holidays!

 

* Fun w/SAS ODS Graphics: "3-Pointer" Xmas Tree
  Inspired by craft project at https://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2012/12/diy-geometric-christmas-tree-card.html;

w=.9;                          * Length of sides of equilateral triangles (leave 10% white space);
h=.9*sqrt(3)/2;                * Height of equilateral triangles (length of sides * sqrt(3)/2);
do r=0 to -5 by -1;            * 6 rows;
  do c=r/2 to r/2+abs(r);      * 1-6 triangles per row;
    up=1;                      * 3 polygon points for triangles pointing up (dark green);
    id+1;                      * Polygon identifier;
    x=c; y=r+.5*h; output;     * Point at triangle top;  
    x=c-w/2; y=r-h/2; output;  * Point at base (left);
    x=c+w/2; y=r-h/2; output;  * Point at base (right);
    up=0;                      * 3 polygon points for triangles pointing down (light green);
    id+1;                      * Polygon identifier;
    x=c; y=r-1.5*h; output;    * Point at trianngle top;

    x=c+w/2; y=r-h/2; output;  * Point at base (right);

                               * Plot the "tree" of triangles (polygon plot);
