This math image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Contact triangle.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

A triangle with incircle, contact triangle and Gergonne point. Released into the public domain by Axel Boldt. Created with GCLC using the following input:

% The three vertices of the triangle
point A 15 80
point B 13 30
point C 45 60

% They define three lines
line a B C
line b A C
line c A B

% The three internal angle bisectors
bis bis_A B A C
bis bis_B A B C
bis bis_C B C A

% The center of the incircle
intersec incenter bis_A bis_B

% The points where the incircle
% touches the triangle.
