AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle ABC and construct its incircle, excircles, and the 9-point circle. First, draw the three sides of the triangle. Then, find the intersection points of the angle bisectors to locate the incenter I and circumcenter G. Next, draw the incircle, and then construct the three excircles. Finally, draw the 9-point circle of the triangle.
