AI Drawing Prompt Reference

In an arbitrary triangle ABC, first construct the outer Fermat triangle AfBfCf and the centroid G. Then, through reflections and segment constructions, obtain the equilateral triangle A*B*C*. Key objects include the equilateral triangle A*B*C*, the outer Fermat triangle AfBfCf, the centroid G, and an arbitrary point P. The construction order starts from the outer Fermat triangle and centroid, using reflections and segment intersections to form the equilateral triangle.
