TRIANGLE_PROPERTIES
Properties of a Triangle

TRIANGLE_PROPERTIES, a MATLAB program which can compute properties, including angles, area, centroid, circumcircle, edge lengths, incircle, orientation, orthocenter, and quality, of a triangle in 2D.

These properties include:

• Angles;
• Area;
• Centroid;
• Circumcircle (center and radius);
• Edge lengths;
• Incircle (center and radius);
• Orientation;
• Orthocenter;
• Quality: ratio of incircle radius / circumcircle radius;
