Incircle Challenge

[Acorn]

Here is my construction.



I felt like I was in the fifth grade in school.
But it was fun.

Servus

ernie, thank you. This is the classical compass and ruler solution.

You are creating the angle bisector of the three vertices (only two are needed) to cross at the incircle position.
A circle centred here will then be easy to increase to touch the three sides when Snap to objects is active.

However, while your straight lines can be fixed to a vertex, I do not believe you can "accurately" position the other end point as there is no control or handle point available.

You can still manage and improve on this in a definite Xara-way.

@Xara - in passing, I tried with your Piesegment 1 Smart Shape. It is useless as when you try and position the centre with cursor keys the Snap to Objects FAILS and the JavaScript code is so slow, it FAILS to position. Might I suggest your Developers attempt this Challenge with Smart Shapes?
