Sažetak

We look at the four-fold symmetry given by the Incenter quadrangle of a triangle, and the relation with the cirumcircle, which in this case is the nine-point conic of the quadrangle. By investigating Euler lines of Incenter triangles, we show that the classical Schiffler point extends to a set of four Schiffler points, all of which lie on the Euler line. We discover also an additional quadrangle of Incenter Euler points on the circumcircle and investigate its interesting diagonal triangle. The results are framed in purely algebraic terms, so hold over a general bilinear form. We present also a mysterious case of apparent symmetry
breaking in the Incenter quadrangle.
