 | | Given three (non-colinear) points A,B,C, the "barycentric coordinates" of a point P with respect to A,B,C are u,v,w, such that: |
 | | One common use for barycentric coordinates is to warp the 2D plane by computing [u,v,w] with respect to ABC, and then re-generating the point with respect to DEF. |
 | | Another common use is to exploit the relationships between special values (0.0 or 1.0, for example) of u,v,w and the triangle ABC. |
