First, I think some of you may know this property already. If you don't know, try this cool one!

(Nagel line) Let $ABC$ be a triangle. Let the excircle of $ABC$ opposite to $A$ touch side $BC$ at $D$. Similarly define $E$ on $AC$ and $F$ on $AB$. Then $AD, BE, CF$ concur (why?) at a point $N$ known
as the Nagel point.
Let $G$ be the centroid of $ABC$ and $I$ the incenter of $ABC$. Show that $I, G, N$ lie in that order on a line (known as the Nagel line) and $GN = 2IG$.

let the 3 excircles touch $BC$ at $X$,$AC$ at $Y$ and $AB$ at $Z$.now ceva $\frac{BX.CY.AZ}{CX.AY.BZ}$=$\frac{s-c.s-a.s-b}{s-b.s-c.s-a}$=1.so nagel point exists

i got a proof of negal point existence a few weeks ago, not like tahmid's.but to state it i need to draw a picture,but i don't know.....i wish any one will give me proper steps for it :)
(i have seen this process of pic in other topics but couldn't really understand)

This is Nagel point,not negal.

there is many software for drawing geometric figures,i would recommend cabri.you can download it fro the net.then after making a file jst attach it with the post.

i have tried to upload the attachment with geogebra,but when i click "add the file",it comes that The extension ggb is not allowed.what does it mean?i don't get that.....can anybody help?
