<p>A nice looking graphics created by a SVG code:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
  <path d="M 160,280 160,20 300,20 300,280 z"
    fill="#f88" stroke="black" stroke-width="5"/>
  <path d="M 440,280 440,20 300,20 300,280 z"
    fill="#8f8" stroke="black" stroke-width="5"/>
  <path d="M 100,350 300,100  500,350 z
    M 250,320 250,220 350,220 350,320 z" fill="#ff8"
