Description

• 

Let H, E, F be the points on the sides BC, CA, AB of triangle ABC such that H is half way around the perimeter from A, E half way around from B, and F half way around from C. AH, BE, CF are concurrent. This point of concurrence is called the Nagel point of the triangle, after C. H. Nagel (1803-1882).

• 

For a detailed description of the Nagel point N, use the routine detail (i.e., detail(N)).

• 

Note that the routine only works if the vertices of the triangle are known.

• 

The command with(geometry,NagelPoint) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
