		<description><![CDATA[As a direct result of looking at Jonathan Puckey&#8217;s excellent Delaunay Raster script I started reading about triangles. Triangles may seem dull at first but if you look closer there are a lot going on here that many people seem to forget.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a direct result of looking at <a title="Jonathan Puckey" href="http://www.jonathanpuckey.com/" target="_blank">Jonathan Puckey&#8217;s</a> excellent <a title="Delaunay Raster" href="http://www.jonathanpuckey.com/projects/delaunay-raster/" target="_blank">Delaunay Raster</a> script I started reading about triangles. Triangles may seem dull at first but if you look closer there are a lot going on here that many people seem to forget. There are also things that are downright incredible, for instance, Wikipedia states that: &#8220;<em>As of 26 May 2010 Clark Kimberling&#8217;s <a title="Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers" href="http://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/encyclopedia/ETC.html" target="_blank">Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers</a> contains an annotated list of 3587 triangle centers.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://monovektor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screen-shot-2011-05-11-at-11.27.14-AM.png"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-533" title="Triangles" src="http://monovektor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screen-shot-2011-05-11-at-11.27.14-AM-590x727.png" alt="" width="590" height="727" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-528"></span></p>
<p>Anyway, I set out to make a tool for drawing triangles, which could seem like a moot point; just pick three different coordinates and draw a closed line between each. Well, I wanted to be able to control each triangles many different attributes as well. Now, 3587 centers are a little steep so I thought I should start with the, so called, four ancient centers. The first ones discovered and perhaps the most easily comprehensible. They are; the <a title="Centroid" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid" target="_blank">centroid</a>, <a title="Incenter" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incenter" target="_blank">incenter</a>, <a title="Circumcenter" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumcenter" target="_blank">circumcenter</a> and the <a title="Orthocenter" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthocenter" target="_blank">orthocenter</a> as pictured below.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-537" title="Triangle attributes" src="http://monovektor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screen-shot-2011-05-11-at-11.07.08-AM.png" alt="" width="520" height="549" /></p>
<p>I managed to find a very good paper on the net on how to calculate some of these points with vectors and I think it turned out well. There are a lot of good looking cool stuff you can do with triangles so I guess the next step for me would be to learn how to turn this into a javascript class to make them easier to handle , should I make a script involving triangles.</p>
