Summary

Description
English: A depiction of all the primitive Pythagorean triples (a,b,c) with a and b < 1170 and a odd, where a is plotted on the horizontal axis, b on the vertical. The curvilinear grid is composed of curves of constant mn and of constant m + n in Euclid's formula, . These curves can be specified parametrically as , with one of i, j held constant in {1,2,3,...} and the other varied over an interval in R. The oddness of mn (and of m + n) required for the triple to be primitive is thus built in, with . All primitive Pythagorean triples are represented on this grid. The scaled triangles are drawn with their centroids at the corresponding (a,b). Unlabeled grid intersection points correspond to non-primitive Pythagorean triples.
