You can move the points A, B and C (click on the point and drag it).
Press the keys “+” and “−” to zoom in or zoom out the visualization window and use the arrow keys to translate it.
You can also construct all centers related with this one (as described in ETC) using the “Run Macro Tool”. To do this, click on the icon , select the center name from the list and, then, click on the vertices A, B and C successively.

X(355) = the center of the Fuhrmann circle, defined as the circumcircle of the Fuhrmann triangle A"B"C", where A" is obtained as follows: let A' be the midpoint of the shorter arc having endpoints B and C on the circumcircle of ABC; then A" is the reflection of A' in line BC. Vertices B" and C" are obtained cyclically.

X(355) = reflection of X(I) in X(J) for these (I,J): (1,5), (3,10), (944,1385), (1482,946)
X(355) = anticomplement of X(1385)
X(355) = complement of X(944)
