Orthocubic

The orthocubic (or ortho cubic) Z(X_4) is a self-isogonal cubic with pivot point at the orthocenter H, so it has parameter x=cosBcosC and trilinear equation

cosBcosCalpha(beta^2-gamma^2)+cosCcosAbeta(gamma^2-alpha^2)+cosAcosBgamma(alpha^2-beta^2)=0

(Cundy and Parry 1995).

The orthocubic passes through the circumcenter O, orthocenter H, incenter I, excenters J_A, J_B, and J_C, and Kimberling centers X_(46), X_(90), X_(155), and X_(254) (Kimberling 1998, p. 240), as well as X_(371), X_(372), X_(485), X_(486), X_(487), and X_(488).
