COMMENTS
T(n,k) = (1/4) * number of ways to select 3 distinct points forming a triangle of unsigned area = 1/2 from a rectangle of grid points with side lengths n and k.
Permutations of the 3 points are not counted separately.

EXAMPLE
The triangle begins:
1
3 8
6 16 31
10 26 50 80
15 39 75 120 179
21 54 103 164 244 332
28 72 137 218 324 441 585
...
a(1) = 1 because 4 triangles of area 1/2 in a [0 1]X[0 1] square can be formed by cutting the unit square into 2 triangles along the diagonals.
