The barycentric coordinates of a point P relative to the verticles of a triangle ABC are defined by the weight of the areas of the three triangles into which the triangle ABC is devided by P.
If we know the barycentric coordinates of a point P and the cartesian coordinates of the verticles A, B ans C we can calculate the cartesian coordinates of P.
