Actually, a triangle wave has only odd harmonics, just at lower amplitudes
than the square wave.
To have all even harmonics would be weird - would that mean that the
fundamental wouldn't be included? :) The only waveform I know of with all
even harmonics would be a full-wave rectified sine. Is there any simple
function that contains all even harmonics? If so, what does the waveform
look like?
