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.

Trilinears (csc A)/(cot A + cot 2π/5) : (csc B)/(cot B + cot 2π/5) : (csc C)/(cot C + cot 2π/5)
Trilinears csc(A + 2π/5) : csc(B + 2π/5) : csc(C + 2π/5) (Joe Goggins, Oct. 19, 2005)
Barycentrics 1/(cot A + cot 2π/5) : 1/(cot B + cot 2π/5) : 1/(cot C + cot 2π/5)
Let A' be the outermost vertex of the regular pentagon erected outward on side BC of ABC. Define B' and C' cyclically. Then triangle A'B'C' is perspective to ABC, and the perspector is X(1139).

X(1139) lies on this line: (6,1140)
