plot.ternary: Plot a ternary diagram

In provenance: Statistical Toolbox for Sedimentary Provenance Analysis

Description

Plots triplets of compositional data on a ternary diagram

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ternary'
plot(x, type = "grid", pch = NA, pos = NULL,
  labels = names(x), showpath = FALSE, bg = NA, col = "cornflowerblue",
  ticks = seq(0, 1, 0.25), ticklength = 0.02, lty = 2, lwd = 1, ...)

Arguments

x	an object of class ternary, or a three-column data frame or matrix
type	adds annotations to the ternary diagram, one of either empty, grid, QFL.descriptive, QFL.folk or QFL.dickinson
pch	plot character, see ?par for details (may be a vector)
pos	position of the sample labels relative to the plot symbols if pch != NA
labels	vector of strings to be added to the plot symbols
showpath	if x has class SRDcorrected, and showpath==TRUE, the intermediate values of the SRD correction will be plotted on the ternary diagram as well as the final composition
bg	background colour for the plot symbols (may be a vector)
col	colour to be used for the background lines (if applicable)
ticks	vector of tick values between 0 and 1
ticklength	number between 0 and 1 to mark the length of the ticks
lty	line type for the annotations (see type)
lwd	line thickness for the annotations
...	optional arguments to the generic points function
