Yes I think you generate the same shapes but with different starting data.

but in reverse? Finding the tangent points for two lines and a circle.

Nice! Though your link is horribly malformed; should be here
https://github.com/Irev-Dev/Round-Anything/blob/master/polyround.scad
I like that you can define the point, and then radius from that; the other
script is a bit painful, as you have to offset all the points, as the radius
grows out from the point. This has advantages in some circumstances, but can
cause headaches in others! It's good that there are two options now.
