Intersection and projection example

This example demonstrates the use of the X (intersect) and ON (projection) operators. A triangle with its projection lines is drawn, showing the intersection of the three projection lines trough one point. Again, the coordinates of a, b and c should be judiciously chosen to fit the screen.


\begin{elan}
program:
POINT a :: point (100.0, 370.0) AS ''A'',
b :: point ...
...ght);
put coord (x);
TEXT VAR wait :: inchar;
enter text mode.
\end{elan}

The resulting picture looks like:

(315,220) (010,030)(1,0)240 (250,030)(-1,3)060 (010,030)(1,1)180 (010,030)A (250,030)B (190,210)C (100,120) $\overline{{\tt AC}}$ (220,120) $\overline{{\tt BC}}$ (130,030) $\overline{{\tt AB}}$ (010,030)(3,1)216 (226,101)PA (250,030)(-1,1)120 (130,150)PB (190,210)(0,-1)180 (190,030)PC (190,090)X (010,010)X = ( 3.700000e+02, 2.800000e+02)
