We study curves obtained by tracing triangle centers within special families of triangles,
focusing on centers and families that yield (semi-)invariant triangle curves, meaning that varying
the initial triangle changes the loci only by an affine transformation. We identify four two-parameter
families of triangle centers that are semi-invariant and determine which are invariant, in the sense
that the resulting curves for different initial triangles are related by a similarity transformation. We
further observe that these centers, when combined with the aliquot triangle family, yield sheared
Maclaurin trisectrices, whereas the nedian triangle family yields Limacon trisectrices.
