D = midpoint of BC,
X = center of the A-excircle, The lines DX, EY, FZ meet in a point, labeled M in the figure. The point was studied by C. von Nagel in 1836, and is called the Mittenpunkt in Peter Baptist, Die Entwicklung der Neueren Dreiecksgeometrie,Wissenschaftsverlag, Mannheim, 1992, page 72.
