[*] For marked points $X,Y$, mark the reflection of $X$ across $Y$.
[*]For distinct marked points $X,Y,Z,T$ which do not form a parallelogram, mark the center of spiral similarity which takes segment $XY$ to $ZT$.
[*] For distinct marked points $X,Y,Z,T$, mark the intersection of lines $XY$ and $ZT$.
