AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a parallelogram ABCD by moving point A to change its shape, ensuring opposite sides are parallel and equal, opposite angles are equal, and diagonals bisect each other. Start by marking the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis as point B, then draw a horizontal line a through B and a vertical line b through A. Take point C on line b and draw a line d parallel to a through C. Find the intersection of a and d as point D, and the intersection of b and d as point E. Connect B, D, E, and A to form parallelogram ABCD, mark all sides and diagonals, and measure and display all angles.
