fractionToPoint(b0: number, b1: number, b2: number, result?: Point3d): Point3d Sum the points with given scales.  
incenter(result?: Point3d): Point3d Return the incenter of the triangle.  
intersectRay3d(ray: Ray3d, result?: TriangleLocationDetail): TriangleLocationDetail Compute the intersection of a line (parameterized as a ray) with the plane of this triangle.  
intersectSegment(point0: Point3d, point1: Point3d, result?: TriangleLocationDetail): TriangleLocationDetail Compute the intersection of a line (parameterized as a line segment) with the plane of this triangle.  
isAlmostEqual(other: BarycentricTriangle): boolean test for point-by-point isAlmostEqual relationship.  
normal(result?: Vector3d): undefined | Vector3d Return the unit normal of the triangle.  
pointToFraction(point: Point3d, result?: TriangleLocationDetail): TriangleLocationDetail Compute the projection of the given point onto the plane of this triangle.  
set(point0: undefined | Point3d, point1: undefined | Point3d, point2: undefined | Point3d): void Copy contents of (not pointers to) the given points.  
setFrom(other: BarycentricTriangle): void Copy all values from other  
snapLocationToEdge(location: TriangleLocationDetail, distanceTolerance: number = Geometry.smallMetricDistance, parameterTolerance: number = Geometry.smallFraction): boolean Adjust the location to an edge of the triangle if within either given tolerance.  
create(point0: Point3d, point1: Point3d, point2: Point3d, result?: BarycentricTriangle): BarycentricTriangle Static create a triangle with coordinates cloned from given points.  
createXYZXYZXYZ(x0: number, y0: number, z0: number, x1: number, y1: number, z1: number, x2: number, y2: number, z2: number, result?: BarycentricTriangle): BarycentricTriangle Static Return a BarycentricTriangle with coordinates given by enumerated x,y,z of the 3 points.  
edgeOppositeVertexIndexToStartVertexIndex(edgeIndex: number): number Static Convert from opposite-vertex to start-vertex edge indexing.  
edgeStartVertexIndexToOppositeVertexIndex(startVertexIndex: number): number Static Convert from start-vertex to opposite-vertex edge indexing.  
isInsideOrOnTriangle(b0: number, b1: number, b2: number): boolean Static Examine a point's barycentric coordinates to determine if it lies inside the triangle or on an edge/vertex.  
isInsideTriangle(b0: number, b1: number, b2: number): boolean Static Examine a point's barycentric coordinates to determine if it lies inside the triangle but not on an edge/vertex.
