Here is a calculator to compute the sides of a right triangle using the ( m2 - n2 , 2mn , m2 + n2 ) formula  - just enter values for m and n or use the scroll bars to change their values. Note that m will always be greater than n. Changing the value of t  will result in linear multiples of the original triple.
