Geometrography

[1] Lemoine later expanded his ideas in another memoir read at the Pau meeting of the same Association held in 1892.

Can then any objective criterion be laid down by which an estimate may be formed of the relative simplicity of several different constructions for attaining the same end?

Whether or not a construction, regardless of simplicity, can be applied in all or most conditions, or just in the special cases, is an important consideration.

In developing the ideas of geometrography, Lemoine restricted himself to Euclidean constructions using rulers and compasses alone.

Lemoine applied his scheme to analyze more than sixty problems in elementary geometry.
