With respect, paraphrasing the Bible: "And so from this one triangle, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore." - Hebrews 11:12
This dynamic sketch displays the first 360 points listed in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers - ETC plus the two so-called De Villiers points. The following points are enlarged & labelled in the sketch with their ETC labels:
1 = incentre
2 = centroid
3 = circumcentre
4 = orthocentre
1127 = 1st De Villiers point
1128 = 2nd De Villiers point.
Note: Currently, there are over 7 000 special triangle points listed in the ETC, and the list keeps growing. For more about these various triangle centres, and their properties, go to the link above.
