26.14.7  Inversion in the plane

See Section 27.12.7 for inversions in space.

Given a circle C with center P and radius r, the inversion of a point A with respect to C is the point A′ on the ray PA satisfying PA·PA=r2.

The inversion command creates an inversion.

Example

inver:=inversion(i,2); inver(circle(1+i,1))

or:

inversion(i,2,circle(1+i,1))

then:

inver(circle(1+i,1/2))
