Subject: dimensionality of shape space for triangles

Dear morphometricians:
Studying the literature on shape spaces I came along with a problem of
understanding. If the shape space for triangles has the dimensionality
2k-4, i.e. 2x3-4 = 2, why is the shape space for triangles usually
drawn in the form of a globe or sphere (e.g. in TPSTri), which is a
3D space. In my understanding, the triangles should be part of a 2D-
space such as the tangent projection of the shape space.
Thanks for your help,
Oliver Betz
