cartToBary - Class: TriRep

Convert point coordinates from cartesian to barycentric

Syntax

B = cartToBary(TR, SI, XC)

Description

B = cartToBary(TR, SI, XC) returns the barycentric coordinates of each point in XC with respect to its associated simplex SI.

Inputs

TRTriangulation representation.
SIColumn vector of simplex indices that index into the triangulation matrix TR.Triangulation.
XCMatrix that represents the Cartesian coordinates of the points to be converted. XC is of size m-by-n, where m is of length(SI), the number of points to convert, and n is the dimension of the space where the triangulation resides.

Outputs

BMatrix of dimension m-by-k where k is the number of vertices per simplex.

Definitions

A simplex is a triangle/tetrahedron or higher dimensional equivalent.

Examples

Compute the Delaunay triangulation of a set of points.

x = [0 4 8 12 0 4 8 12]';
y = [0 0 0 0 8 8 8 8]';
dt = DelaunayTri(x,y)

Compute the barycentric coordinates of the incenters.

cc = incenters(dt);
tri = dt(:,:);
subplot(1,2,1);
triplot(dt); hold on;
plot(cc(:,1), cc(:,2), '*r'); 
hold off;
axis equal;
title(sprintf('Original triangulation and reference ...
     points.\n'));

Stretch the triangulation and compute the mapped locations of the incenters on the deformed triangulation.

b = cartToBary(dt,[1:length(tri)]',cc);
y = [0 0 0 0 16 16 16 16]';
tr = TriRep(tri,x,y)
xc = baryToCart(tr, [1:length(tri)]', b);
subplot(1,2,2);
triplot(tr); 
hold on;
plot(xc(:,1), xc(:,2), '*r'); 
hold off;
axis equal;
title(sprintf('Deformed triangulation and mapped\n ...
     locations of the reference points.\n'));
