triangle

ic

-

the name of the incircle

'centername'=cn

(optional) where cn is a name denoting the center of the incircle ic

Description

• 

The incircle ic of triangle T is the circle inscribed inside the triangle.

• 

If the optional argument is given and is of the form 'centername' = cn where cn is name, cn will be the name of the center of ic.

For a detailed description of the incircle ic, use the routine detail (i.e., detail(ic))

• 

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