The angle bisectors of a general triangle intersect at the incenter . The isogonal conjugate of a point is found by reflecting the lines , , about the angle bisectors. The symmedian point of a triangle is the isogonal conjugate of the centroid. The orthic triangle consists of the feet of the altitudes of a general triangle.

The point is the symmedian point of the orthic triangle (shown in red) of [1].

Let

, , be the side lengths,

, , be the circumradius, inradius and semiperimeter of ,

,

, , be the exact trilinear coordinates of with respect to and .

Then, with

Details

A triangle center is said to be even when its barycentric coordinates can be expressed as a function of three variables , , that all occur with even exponents. If the center of a triangle has constant barycentric coordinates, it is called a neutral center (the centroid is the only neutral center). A triangle center is said to be odd if it is neither even nor neutral.

Standard barycentric coordinates of a point with respect to a reference triangle have a sum of 1.
