Pappus configuration
In projective geometry, the Pappus configuration consists of a pair ((A,B,C), (D,E,F)) of triplets of points, which pair is located either on a pair of lines or on two sides of a conic section, with a hexagon AECDBF defined on the points, and a collinear triplet of intersections of opposite sides (e.g AE and DB) of the hexagon.
