#'Function to convert any 3-d numerical array to a grid of coloured triangles. 
#'
#'This function converts a 3-d numerical data array into a coloured 
#'grid with triangles. It is useful for a slide or article to present tabular 
#'results as colors instead of numbers. This can be used to compare the outputs 
#'of two or four categories (e.g. modes  of variability, clusters, or forecast 
#'systems). 
#'
#'@param data Array with three named dimensions: 'dimx', 'dimy', 'dimcat', 
#'  containing the values to be displayed in a coloured image with triangles.
#'@param brks A vector of the color bar intervals. The length must be one more 
#'  than the parameter 'cols'. Use ColorBar() to generate default values.
#'@param cols A vector of valid colour identifiers for color bar. The length
#'  must be one less than the parameter 'brks'. Use ColorBar() to generate 
#'  default values.
#'@param toptitle A string of the title of the grid. Set NULL as default.   
#'@param sig_data Logical array with the same dimensions as 'data' to add layers 
#'  to the plot. A value of TRUE at a grid cell will draw a dot/symbol on the 
#'  corresponding triangle of the plot. Set NULL as default.
#'@param pch_sig Symbol to be used to represent sig_data. Takes 18 
#' (diamond) by default. See 'pch' in par() for additional accepted options.
#'@param col_sig Colour of the symbol to represent sig_data. 
#'@param cex_sig Parameter to increase/reduce the size of the symbols used 
#'  to represent sig_data.
#'@param xlab A logical value (TRUE) indicating if xlabels should be plotted
#'@param ylab A logical value (TRUE) indicating if ylabels should be plotted
#'@param xlabels A vector of labels of the x-axis The length must be 
#'  length of the col of parameter 'data'. Set the sequence from 1 to the 
#'  length of the row of parameter 'data' as default.
#'@param xtitle A string of title of the x-axis. Set NULL as default.
#'@param ylabels A vector of labels of the y-axis The length must be 
#'  length of the row of parameter 'data'. Set the sequence from 1 to the 
#'  length of the row of parameter 'data' as default. 
#'@param ytitle A string of title of the y-axis. Set NULL as default.
#'@param drawleg A logical value to decide to draw the color bar legend or not. 
#'  Set TRUE as default.
#'@param legend Deprecated. Use 'drawleg' instead.
#'@param lab_legend A vector of labels indicating what is represented in each 
#'category (i.e. triangle). Set the sequence from 1 to the length of 
#' the categories (2 or 4).  
#'@param cex_leg A number to indicate the increase/reductuion of the lab_legend  
#'  used to represent sig_data.
#'@param col_leg Color of the legend (triangles).
#'@param cex_axis A number to indicate the increase/reduction of the axis labels.
#'@param fileout A string of full directory path and file name indicating where 
#'  to save the plot. If not specified (default), a graphics device will pop up. 
#'@param mar A numerical vector of the form c(bottom, left, top, right) which 
#'  gives the number of lines of margin to be specified on the four sides of the 
#'  plot. 
#'@param size_units A string indicating the units of the size of the device 
#'  (file or window) to plot in. Set 'px' as default. See ?Devices and the 
#'  creator function of the corresponding device.
#'@param res A positive number indicating resolution of the device (file or 
#'  window) to plot in. See ?Devices and the creator function of the 
#'  corresponding device.
#'@param figure.width a numeric value to control the width of the plot.
#'@param ... The additional parameters to be passed to function 
#'  ColorBarContinuous() in for color legend creation.
#'@return A figure in popup window by default, or saved to the specified path.
