Taylor Center


The center of the Taylor circle. It has triangle center function

 alpha_(389)=cosA-cos(2A)cos(B-C)

and is Kimberling center X_(389), which is the center of the Spieker circle of the orthic triangle of the reference triangle (Johnson 1929, p. 277).

The Taylor center lies on the Brocard axis.
