Abstract
If is a given triangle in the plane, is any point not on the extended sides of or its anticomplementary triangle, is the complement of the isotomic conjugate of with respect to , is the cevian triangle of , and and are the midpoints of segments and , respectively, a synthetic proof is given for the fact that the complete quadrilateral defined by the lines is perspective by a Euclidean half-turn to the similarly defined complete quadrilateral for the isotomic conjugate of . This fact is used to define and prove the existence of a generalized circumcenter and generalized orthocenter for any such point .
