Perspective Fields

The hidden structure in Triangle Geometry

 

Some key points on Perspective Fields

  1. There exists a general linear relationship between triangle points, referred to here as a Perspective Field.
  2. A perspective field can be defined by four points, no three of which lie on a straight line.
  3. Any point within such a field can be specified using perspective coordinates, consisting of three numerical values.
  4. The perspective coordinates of a point X are the weights associated with the first three defining points of the field.
  5. The general coordinates of point X are then given by a weighted average of the general coordinates of the first three defining points.
  6. A similar perspective relationship also exists for triangle points on a line, referred to here as a Perspective Linear Set.

 

Only the underlined items are currently accessible. The remaining items are intended to be introduced in due course.

Note that:

PF-Tf1 and PF-Tf2 prove most valuable beyond the scope of Perspective Fields, especially when converting coordinates between reference triangles:
  • The transformation converting coordinates from the reference triangle to another triangle is PF-Tf1.
  • The transformation converting coordinates from some special triangle to the reference triangle is PF-Tf2.
