Description

Return the mid-circle(s) of two circles.

Usage

midCircles(circ1, circ2)

Arguments

circ1, circ2

Circle objects

Details

A mid-circle of two circles is a generalized circle (i.e. a circle or a line) such that the inversion on this circle swaps the two circles. The case of a line appears only when the two circles have equal radii.

Value

A Circle object, or a Line object, or a list of two such objects.
