CircumtangentialTriangle

The circumtangential triangle is an equilateral triangle formed by the three points X on the circumcircle of a reference triangle DeltaABC at which the line XX^(-1), where X^(-1) is the isogonal conjugate, is tangent to the circumcircle (Kimberling 1998, p. 166).

Note that it is not in perspective with DeltaABC.

It has trilinear vertex matrix

 [csc(1/3(C-B)) csc(1/3(B+2C)) -csc(1/3(C+2B)); -csc(1/3(A+2C)) csc(1/3(A-C)) csc(1/3(C+2A)); csc(1/3(A+2B)) -csc(1/3(B+2A)) csc(1/3(B-A))].

All triangle centers of the circumtangential triangle correspond to the circumcenter of the reference triangle.
