QG-P3 Midpoint 3rd QL-Diagonal
We use this terminology.
A “QA-Quadrigon” is a Quadrigon seen as the Component of a Quadrangle.
A “QL-Quadrigon” is a Quadrigon seen as the Component of a Quadrilateral.
The 3rd Diagonal of a QA-Quadrigon is the same line as the 3rd Diagonal of a QL-Quadrigon. However the Midpoint of a QA-Quadrigon is different from the Midpoint of a QL-Quadrigon.
QG-P3 is the Midpoint of the segment on the 3rd Diagonal of a QL-Quadrigon limited by the intersection points with the 3rd Diagonals of the 2 other Component QL-Quadrigons.
Construction:
Let S1 = P1.P2 ^ P3.P4 and S2 = P2.P3 ^ P4.P1. S1.S2 is the 3rd Diagonal.
Let S3 = P1.P3 ^ S1.S2 and S4 = P2.P4 ^ S1.S2.
QG-P3 = the Midpoint of S3 and S4.

Properties:
- QG-P3 lies on these lines:
– QG-2P2a/b.QG-2P3a/b = QG-L1 = 3rd Diagonal of the Quadrigon
- The Triangle formed by the 3 QL-Versions of QG-P3 is the medial triangle of the QL-Diagonal Triangle.
- The 3 QA-Versions of QG-P3 are collinear points.
- The three QA-versions of QG-P3 are collinear on the tripolar of QA-P16 wrt QA-Tr1. See Ref-34, Eckart Schmidt, QFG#1263.
