The procedure for constructing a circle by three points in 3D
Idea of ​​the algorithm taken from the publication of Alexey Ivanov
http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/207697-Circle-In-3d-
The calculation algorithm
1. The three points are vertices of the triangle. Write three linear equations:
two equations of planes passing through the midpoints of the two sides of the triangle
perpendicular to these sides: f1 = 0, f3 = 0
and the equation of the plane which contains the triangle: f2 = 0.
2. Solve the system of equations and find the center of a circle with coordinates Cen xCen, ... zCen.
3. Find the circle radius R of the equation of a sphere with radius R and center at Cen
4. Construct a circle as the line of intersection of the sphere with the plane of the triangle (Draghilev method)

Changes:
1. Circle is constructed by matrix transformation, and not Draghilev Method
2. The normal to the surface passing through the given points is shown.
