In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto v(0,0,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = x z - x + y z - y - z + 1\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{1}:v\mapsto v(1,0,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{1} = x \left(1 - z\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{2}:v\mapsto v(0,1,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{2} = y \left(1 - z\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 2 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{3}:v\mapsto v(0,0,1)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{3} = z \left(- x - y + 1\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 3 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{4}:v\mapsto v(1,0,1)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{4} = x z\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 4 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{5}:v\mapsto v(0,1,1)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{5} = y z\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 5 of the reference element.
