AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a line g, then take points G and H on it. Reflect points A, B, C, D, and E across g to get A', B', C', D', and E'. Construct polygon poly1 with B, A, E, D, and C, and polygon poly2 with C', B', A', E', and D'. Draw line segments B'B, C'C, A'A, E'E, and D'D, and find their intersections with g at F, I, J, K, and L. Measure the distances between C'F, FC, B'I, IB, D'J, JD, A'K, KA, E'L, and LE. Take point M on g and draw a circle with center M and radius 5, finding its intersections with g at U, V, W, Z, and A1. Measure the angles between G, U, and C' (α), between g and f (β), between g and j (γ), between g and i (δ), and between g and k (ε).
