Point-line sum shapes
In previous posts about taxicab geometry, I've illustrated shapes which have common names: ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, oval of Cassini, and circle of Apollonius. Occasionally I've had to distinguish between shapes which have different definitions but the same name in Euclidean geometry, because they present distinctly in taxicab geometry, specifically sum-based ellipses versus directrix-based ellipses, and difference-based hyperbolas versus directrix-based hyperbolas. Now, however, we turn to shapes that, as far as I can tell, don't have common names. (If you know a name for these shapes, please email me.)
The first is a shape defined as a constant sum of the distances to a focus and a directrix:
In Euclidean geometry, these are lens-shaped but asymmetric:
Taxicab geometry's versions seem to be hexagonal approximations of the Euclidean shape:
The only other case seems to be the occasional pentagon:
