incircle(ic,T, 'centername'=cn)
T
-
triangle
ic
the name of the incircle
'centername'=cn
(optional) where cn is a name denoting the center of the incircle ic
The incircle ic of triangle T is the circle inscribed inside the triangle.
If the optional argument is given and is of the form 'centername' = cn where cn is name, cn will be the name of the center of ic.
For a detailed description of the incircle ic, use the routine detail (i.e., detail(ic))
Note that the routine only works if the vertices of the triangle are known.
