Convert the Triangle

This is two rather dissimilar calls, depending on the type of triangle.

From a tandem-based triangle, the lead base does a sort of 1/2 Run, to become the apex of a new triangle. The apex and trailing point extend to each other to become a new wave base. Think of the call as sort of a "1/2 Circulate".

From a wave or couple-based triangle, this can be quite tricky. The apex steps ahead, usually (but not always) to become the lead base of a tandem-based triangle. Any wave or couple-based person who is "infacing" (facing toward the base) steps forward behind the original apex and turns to be tandem behind her. Any "outfacing" base person does 1/2 of a Run, usually to become the new apex.

Infacing base people always step behind the original apex, even if the triangle is facing:

If both base people are infacing, they both step behind the apex, maintaining their order. In this case the result is a column of 3.
