    Re: Finding The Symmedian
    From: Gary LaPook

    "Thanks for putting together links to these relevant posts, Gary. Could they be taken collectively as saying that the Symmedian point is the 'least squares' centre?

    That is Herbert's proposition but
    Bowditch and Dutton agree with you, see:

    I have always used the "centroid" mainly because it is easy to plot. But I don't think it makes much difference which "center" you choose, see:
