No the built-in generator does not do triangle tones, but you can
generate triangle tones using the Nyquist Prompt effect.

If you select part of a track, open the Nyquist Prompt effect, and
enter the following command (note that the parentheses are essential),
it will generate a 0 dB (full scale) triangle tone in the selection at
440 Hz. Here is the code:
(osc-tri 440)

For a different frequency, just change the 440 to whatever frequency
you require.
To create a tone at lower amplitude, you can either, apply the Amplify
effect to the generated tone, with a negative amplification amount, or
you can extend the code a little. For example, to create a 1000 Hz
triangle tone with an amplitude of -6 dB (which is half of the full
scale amplitude) - the code is:

(mult 0.5 (osc-tri 1000))

Hi, it's Annabelle.
I know the tone generator within Audacity can generate sine, square,
sawtooth, and square no alias tones, but I wonder if it's possible that this
generator can generate triangle tones.
