Triangle Centers:

G:    Centroid - Intersection of the three medians of the triangle

H:    Orthocenter - Intersection of the 3 lines containing the altitudes

C:    Circumcenter - Point in the plane equidistant from the 3 vertices of the triangle.  (determined by the perpendicular bisector of each side)

I:    Incenter - Point on interior of the triangle that is equidistant from the 3 sides.  (determined by the angle bisectors)

Euler Line: Line segment containing the Centroid, Orthocenter and the Circumcenter.
