Given a point
P, the lines AP, BP and CP cut the opposite sides of the triangle ABC at
A', B', C'. Then the triangle A'B'C' is the cevian triangle of P. Its vertices
A', B' and C' are called the cevian traces (or simply the traces) of P.
As example:
The cevian
triangle of the centroid is the medial
triangle.
The cevian
triangle of the orthocenter is the orthic
triangle.
The cevian
triangle of the incenter is the
incentric
triangle.
The cevian
triangle of the Gergonne point is the intouch
triangle.
The cevian
triangle of the Nagel point is the
extouch
triangle.
