The Dao-Zeeman perspector of a line with respect to a reference
triangle
is the homothetic center of
and the congruent triangle
constructed below (Lozada 2024).
Let
meet the sidelines
,
, and
at distinct finite points
,
, and
, respectively. Choose a point
on
distinct from those three points.
Let
be the intersection of the line
through
parallel to
and the line through
parallel to
. Define
and
by cyclic permutation (Dao Thanh Oai 2016). The lines
through
,
, and
in the directions of
,
, and
, respectively, bound the image
of
under a
rotation about the perspector. The perspector lies on
and is independent of
(Lozada 2024).
If
is the trilinear polar of the point
with barycentric coordinates
, the perspector has barycentric
coordinates
For the Euler line, the construction gives the Gossard perspector
when the latter is defined (Lozada 2024).
