QA-Tf6 Quang Duong’s Transformation
Let ABCD be the Reference Quadrangle and r a random line.
Line r intersects AB, CD, AC, DB, AD, BC at MAB, MCD, MAC, MDB, MAD, MBC.
HAB, HCD, HAC, HDB, HAD, HBC is orthogonal projections of MCD, MAB, MDB, MAC, MBC, MAD on AB, CD, AC, DB, AD, BC.
Then HAB HCD, HAC HDB, HAD HBC are concurrent in a point R being the Quang Duong’s Transformation of line r wrt Reference Quadrangle ABCD.
When vertices A,B,C,D are concyclic, then the lines HAB HCD, HAC HDB, HAD HBC will be parallel and consequently R will be an infinity point.

Properties:
- QA-Tf6(d) is a point on the QA-Orthopolar Line QA-Tf8(d). See Ref-34, QFG#1186). For definition Orthopolar Line see Ref-13.
- Reflect some random point P in two opposite sides of the quadrangle and let M12,34 be their midpoint of these reflections. Define similarly M13,24 and M14,23. Then QA-Tf3(P) is the circumcenter of the triangle M12,34M13,24M14,23 and its circumcircle coincides with the circle described in the initial construction of QA-Tf3. QA-Tf6(Lp) will be a point on this circle for any line Lp through P. See Ref-34, Ngo Quang Duong, message #2745.
