| contents | If $ABC$ is a given triangle in the plane, $P$ is any point not on the extended sides of $ABC$ or its anticomplementary triangle, $Q$ is the complement of the isotomic conjugate of $P$ with respect to $ABC$, $DEF$ is the cevian triangle of $P$, and $D_0$ and $A_0$ are the midpoints of segments $BC$ and $EF$, respectively, a synthetic proof is given for the fact that the complete quadrilateral defined by the lines $AP, AQ, D_0Q, D_0A_0$ is perspective by a Euclidean half-turn to the similarly defined complete quadrilateral for the isotomic conjugate $P'$ of $P$ . This fact is used to define and prove the existence of a generalized circumcenter and generalized orthocenter for any such point $P$. |
