Bitangent information


The Trott curve (black) has 28 real bitangents (red). This image shows 7 of them; the others are symmetric with respect to 90° rotations through the origin and reflections through the two blue axes.

In geometry, a bitangent to a curve C is a line L that touches C in two distinct points P and Q and that has the same direction as C at these points. That is, L is a tangent line at P and at Q.
