AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle ABC, then draw the medians DE, EF, and FD, find the orthocenter G, draw the angle bisectors j and k, and l and m, then find the incenter H, draw the altitudes from A, B, and C to the opposite sides t, a1, and b1, find their intersection I, draw the perpendiculars from D, E, and F to the opposite sides c1, d1, and e1, find their intersection J, draw a circle with center J and radius A, draw the perpendicular bisector of H and K, find their intersection K, draw a circle with center H and radius K, and finally draw the line through I and J.
