The Mittenpunkt (also called the middlespoint [1]) of a triangle is the intersection of the lines through the excenters and the midpoints , , of the corresponding sides.

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 are normalized to have a sum of 1.
