ternary_diagram: Visualize individual tracer analysis as ternary diagrams

In fingerPro: A Comprehensive Package for Sediment Source Unmixing

Visualize individual tracer analysis as ternary diagrams

Description

This function creates ternary diagrams to visualize the results of the individual tracer analysis. Each ternary diagram represents the predicted apportionments for a specific tracer.

Usage

ternary_diagram(data, tracers = c(1:2), rows = 1, cols = 2, solution = NA)

Arguments

data	A data frame containing the results from the individual tracer analysis function.
tracers	A vector specifying the indices of the tracers to be displayed.
rows	An integer specifying the number of rows in the grid of ternary diagrams.
cols	An integer specifying the number of columns in the grid of ternary diagrams.
solution	A vector containing an optional reference solution for visual comparison.

Value

A grid of ternary diagrams, each representing the predicted apportionments for a specific tracer. If there are three sources, the function generates one ternary triangle for each tracer. If there are four sources, the function generates six triangles for each tracer. The six triangles represent the following source combinations at their vertices: 1. (S1, S2, S3+S4) 2. (S2, S3, S1+S4) 3. (S3, S4, S1+S2) 4. (S4, S1, S2+S3) 5. (S1, S3, S2+S4) 6. (S2, S4, S1+S3)
