I read your question differently from Alain. It all depends how you want 
your triangle to rotate. If you want it to rotate around its centre of 
gravity. then you construct it so that the centre of gravity (or the 
centre of rotation) is at the origin. Rotate it, with the clock 
variable, then move it to the required position. You may need to rotate 
it using the three axis and the sin and cos functions.
