The anticomplement of a point in a reference triangle
is a point
satisfying the vector equation
| (1) |
where is the triangle centroid of
(Kimberling 1998, p. 150).
The anticomplement of a point with center function is therefore given by the point with trilinears
| (2) |
The anticomplement of a line
| (3) |
is given by the line
| (4) |
The following table summarizes the anticomplements of a number of named lines, including their Kimberling line and center designations.
The following table summarizes the anticomplements of a number of named circles.
| circle | anticomplement |
| circumcircle | anticomplementary circle |
| de Longchamps circle | polar circle |
| nine-point circle | circumcircle |
The following table lists some points and their anticomplements using Kimberling center designations.
