Graphic representation of a triangle using ArrayPlot












2












$begingroup$


So I need to write a function which takes natural integer $n$ and returns graphical representation of a matrix $n times n$ using ArrayPlot.
This matrix has to be pixel approximation of equilateral triangle which get better and better as $n$ increases.



I figured out a set of equilateral triangle points which is $$P={(x,y) in mathbb{R}^2:y<sqrt{3}x+frac{asqrt{3}}{2},y<-sqrt{3}x+frac{asqrt{3}}{2},y>0}$$
where $a$ is side length of this triangle.



f1[x_, a_] := -Sqrt[3]*x + (a*Sqrt[3])/2
f2[x_, a_] := Sqrt[3]*x + (a*Sqrt[3])/2
matrix[n_] := ConstantArray[0, {n, n}]
(...)
drawapprox[n_] := ArrayPlot[matrix[n], Mesh -> True]


So I make zero $n times n$ matrix and I want to put $1$ if a point belongs to $P$ but I don't know how to put together points from the plane to this 0-1 matrix to make it works. After that I just want to use ArrayPlot function to draw new 0-1 matrix which represents triangle.



How do I make up the missing (...) part?
