A set of programs using Euclid's and seven other derived formulas (P2 to P8) to generate and visualize all primitive Pythagorean triples. No for-loops or if-then statements are used in the programs to generate the triples except for visualization purposes. The formulas were created following visual observations of the way Euclid's Pyhtogrean triples are geometrically distributed and the relationships among them.
