Desargues' Theorem notebook debugging

Posted 10 months ago

I've been trying to run locally the so-called Desargues' Theorem notebook which can be downloaded. However, it doesn't seem to work properly: I get errors and the final graph is not reproduced. Is there anyone able to fix it and perhaps ALSO explain a bit? Thanks!

I made a modest attempt to create a working nb for the original Desargues' Theorem (before included) and I include this new one, however, since I am essentially a beginner in programming with Mathematica, I am not able to make the dashed red/blue lines invisible in the regions where they are not needed (accordingly to the original nb). I'd appreciate to receive some hints on this part and if one can write a shorter and better version of this new code.

Thank you Eric, I somewhat also realized that (chatgpt agrees :) )...I wonder what's the point to leave a nb available to download if it is incomplete ...

A bunch of the functions being used are undefined (Coordinates, Intersections, Sides, etc). I don't know if they were built in when that page of MathWorld was created and are now deprectated, or if there is some other notebook you need to download to get the definitions or if these functions live in some special context that wasn't called out explicitly.
