Barycentric coordinates are strongly related to Cartesian coordinates and, more generally, affine coordinates.For a space of dimension n, these coordinate systems are defined relative to a point O, the origin, whose coordinates are zero, and n points , …,, whose coordinates are zero except that of index i that equals one.
More generally, if an arbitrary origin is chosen where the Cartesian coordinates of the vertices are known and represented by the vectors ,, and if the point P has trilinear coordinates x : y : z, then the Cartesian coordinates of are the weighted average of the Cartesian coordinates of these vertices using the barycentric ...
For an arbitrary, unstructured mesh (as used in finite element analysis), other methods of interpolation must be used; if all the mesh elements are tetrahedra (3D simplices), then barycentric coordinates provide a straightforward procedure.
Homogeneous coordinates are not uniquely determined by a point, so a function defined on the coordinates, say (,,), does not determine a function defined on points as with Cartesian coordinates. But a condition f ( x , y , z ) = 0 {\displaystyle f(x,y,z)=0} defined on the coordinates, as might be used to describe a curve, determines a condition ...
A ternary plot, ternary graph, triangle plot, simplex plot, or Gibbs triangle is a barycentric plot on three variables which sum to a constant. [1] It graphically depicts the ratios of the three variables as positions in an equilateral triangle .
Barycentric subdivision, a way of dividing a simplicial complex; Barycentric coordinates (mathematics), coordinates defined by the vertices of a simplex; In numerical analysis, Barycentric interpolation formula, a way of interpolating a polynomial through a set of given data points using barycentric weights.
A point P has coordinates (x, y) with respect to the original system and coordinates (x′, y′) with respect to the new system. [1] In the new coordinate system, the point P will appear to have been rotated in the opposite direction, that is, clockwise through the angle . A rotation of axes in more than two dimensions is defined similarly.
The Poincaré coordinates of a point are the Cartesian coordinates of the point when the point is mapped in the Poincaré disk model of the hyperbolic plane, [1] the x-axis is mapped to the segment (−1,0) − (1,0) and the origin is mapped to the centre of the boundary circle. The Poincaré coordinates, in terms of the Beltrami coordinates, are:
