Center


This mode constructs the center of a conic. In particular, you can use this mode to construct the center of a circle. For general conics the center is the intersection of its axes of symmetry. The center of a conic is sometimes useful for constructing a point on a movable conic.


Center of an ellipse Center of a hyperbola




Synopsis
