- Use polar coordinates (details of coordinates are shown below)
- Use fill command and close the path with --cycle
- Draw only one diamond and rotate it with different angles
Modify the following code and compile it to get the above result:
\documentclass[border=0.2cm]{standalone}
% Loading TikZ
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
% Diamond 1
\fill[red] (0,0) -- (0:2) -- (-30:3.5);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
