Geometry

Example:

is_isoscelesl(point(0,0), point(4,0),
point(2,4)) returns 3.

Equilateral

Takes three points and tests whether or not they are vertices of

a single equilateral triangle. Returns 1 if they are and 0

otherwise.

is_equilateral(point1, point2, point3)

Example:

is_equilateral(point(0,0), point(4,0),
point(2,4)) returns 0.

Parallelogram

Tests whether or not a set of four points are vertices of a

parallelogram. Returns 0 if they are not. If they are, then

returns 1 if they form only a parallelogram, 2 if they form a

rhombus, 3 if they form a rectangle, and 4 if they form a

square.

is_parallelogram(point1, point2, point3,
point4)

Example:

is_parallelogram(point(0,0), point(2,4),
point(0,8), point(-2,4)) returns 2.

Conjugate

Tests whether or not two points or two lines are conjugates for

the given circle. Returns 1 if they are and 0 otherwise.

is_conjugate(circle, point1, point2) or
is_conjugate(circle, line1, line2)
