The point at which the three lines connecting the vertices of two perspective triangles concur, sometimes also called the perspective center, homology center, or pole.
In the plane of a reference triangle , the perspector of
and its polar triangle
with respect to a given conic is called the perspector of that conic. The perspector
is not defined for conics with respect to which
is self-polar.
For an inconic, the perspector is the Brianchon
point of the conic.
The following table summarizes perspectors of some named triangle conics corresponding to Kimberling centers.
