The circumparabolas of the one-parameter family of triangles in Chapple's
porism constitute a two-parameter family of parabolas each of which
corresponding to the points of a quadratic cone in the Veronese manifold.
The axes of the circumparabolas for each fixed triangle envelop a Steiner
cycloid.
We rediscover the circumparabola-vertex-septic and the
circumparabola-focus-quintic which house the vertices and foci of the
circumparabolas of three points independent of whether they are related to
porisms or not.
The axis of circumparabolas with fixed pivot on the circumcircle
are concurrent.
The envelope of all Steiner cycloids consist of two ellipses, one containing
the cycloids' cusps, the other one touching the cycloids from the interior.

We study the traces of triangle centers in various types of Poncelet porisms.
Giving up the uniqueness of the incircle of the triangles of a poristic family,
we observe that the paths of the excenters spread into several components.
However, there are centers whose poristic traces are still conics.
The algebraic approach towards the computation of the orbits of points
and the envelopes of lines is limited in its applications.
If the circumcircle is replaced with a circumellipse, the computations
are even more involved.

Circular orbits spread into several components once the
incircle is not the unique support. |

Poncelet porisms cover Chapple's porism (triangles with common incircle and
circumcircle) as a special case.
The most general form of Poncelet porism deals with polygons interscribed
between conics of a pencil.
The circles of a hyperbolic pencil of circle can also serve as the support
of poristic families of polygons.
The radii, or equivalently, the central distances of the circles have to fulfill
some algebraic conditions in order to allow for interscribed polygons.
We also observe opportunistic polygons which show up as additional solutions
to the high algebraic degree of the closure conditions and the fact that
from each point we can draw two tangents to a conic.

Chapple's porism causes many circular orbits. |

The one-parameter family of triangles with common incircle and circumcircle is called a porisitic system
of triangles. The triangles of a poristic system can be rotated freely about the common incircle.
However, this motion is not a rigid body motion for the side lengths of the triangle are changing.
Surprisingly many triangle centers associated with the triangles of the poristic family trace circles while
the triangle traverses the poristic family. Other points move on conic sections, some points trace more
complicated curves. We shall describe the orbits of centers and some other points.
Thereby we are able to answer open questions and verify some older results.
