If only a single trilaterated point is found, `min is max`, `minPoint is maxPoint` and `n = 1`. For `area=True`, `min` and `max` are the smallest respectively largest radial overlap found. For `area=False`, `min` and `max` represent the nearest respectively farthest intersection margin. If `area=True` and all 3 circles are concentric, `n=0` and `minPoint` and `maxPoint` are the `point#` with the smallest `distance#` `min` respectively `max` the largest `distance#`. Raises: `IntersectionError` - Trilateration failed for the given `eps`, insufficient overlap for `area=True` or no intersection or all (near-)concentric for `area=False`. `TypeError` - Invalid `point2` or `point3`. `ValueError` - Coincident `points` or invalid `distance1`, `distance2` or `distance3`. Note: Ellipsoidal trilateration invokes methods `LatLon.intersections2` and `LatLon.nearestOn`. Install Karney's Python package geographiclib to obtain the most accurate results for both `ellipsoidalVincenty.LatLon` and `ellipsoidalKarney.LatLon` points.
