How to determine if a point is in a 2D triangle? [closed]

Answer 1

C# version of the barycentric method posted by andreasdr and Perro Azul. Note that the area calculation can be avoided if s and t have opposite signs. I verified correct behavior with a pretty thorough unit test.

public static bool PointInTriangle(Point p, Point p0, Point p1, Point p2)
{
    var s = p0.Y * p2.X - p0.X * p2.Y + (p2.Y - p0.Y) * p.X + (p0.X - p2.X) * p.Y;
    var t = p0.X * p1.Y - p0.Y * p1.X + (p0.Y - p1.Y) * p.X + (p1.X - p0.X) * p.Y;

    if ((s < 0) != (t < 0))
        return false;

    var A = -p1.Y * p2.X + p0.Y * (p2.X - p1.X) + p0.X * (p1.Y - p2.Y) + p1.X * p2.Y;

    return A < 0 ?
            (s <= 0 && s + t >= A) :
            (s >= 0 && s + t <= A);
}
