Several more or less obscure alternatives to the symmedian point have

symmedian point that is arguably more or less different from the MPP
(dependent on the geometry of the situation) and then plot this wrong
point with perfect accuracy. It makes by far more sense to find a quick
and dirty method to plot the correct point.
