So far so good, until I add more points. Now assume, I add a fourth point D
at {0,2*sqrt(3)}. This produces the rectangular triangle ABD with
hypothenuse BD that encompasses the smaller triangle ABC such that C lies in
the middle between B and D. Then, MDS should reproduce the rectangular
triangle ABD and the equilateral triangle ABC within it. However, even
though distance matrix d2 below still indicates that ABC is an equilateral
triangle, the pl...
