Tetrahedral coordinates
From HandWiki
of a point $P$ in three-dimensional space
Numbers $x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4$ which are proportional (with given coefficient of proportionality) to the distances from $P$ to the faces of a fixed tetrahedron, not necessarily regular. Analogously, one may introduce general normal coordinates for any dimension. The two-dimensional analogues of tetrahedral coordinates are called trilinear coordinates.
See also Barycentric coordinates.
