triplot: Plot a Maxwell triangle

In pavo: Perceptual Analysis, Visualization and Organization of Spectral Colour Data

Plot a Maxwell triangle

Description

Produces a Maxwell triangle plot.

Usage

triplot(
  tridata,
  labels = TRUE,
  achro = TRUE,
  achrocol = "grey",
  achrosize = 0.8,
  labels.cex = 1,
  out.lwd = 1,
  out.lcol = "black",
  out.lty = 1,
  square = TRUE,
  gamut = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

tridata	(required) a data frame, possibly a result from the colspace() or trispace() function, containing values for the 'x' and 'y' coordinates as columns (labeled as such).
labels	logical. Should the name of each cone be printed next to the corresponding vertex?
achro	should a point be plotted at the origin (defaults to TRUE)?
achrocol	color of the point at the origin achro = TRUE (defaults to 'grey').
achrosize	size of the point at the origin when achro = TRUE (defaults to 0.8).
labels.cex	size of the arrow labels.
out.lwd, out.lcol, out.lty	graphical parameters for the plot outline.
square	logical. Should the aspect ratio of the plot be held to 1:1? (defaults to TRUE).
gamut	logical. Should the polygon showing the possible colours given visual system and illuminant used in the analysis (defaults to FALSE). This option currently only works when qcatch = Qi.
...	additional graphical options. See par().
