Extract

There are many convenient ways in which a plane triangle can be defined and given projective coordinates. It can most simply be treated as an ordered triad of points (A, B, C) or dually as an ordered triad of lines (a, b, c), but it may seem more natural to regard it as a triad of points and an associated triad of lines which together satisfy the familiar incidence conditions. Again, the triangle for which Schubert [1] developed a calculus was a septuple, but Semple [2] has shown the advantages of a calculus for a triangle defined as an octuple.
