Ternary Diagram

Description

Produces a ternary diagram, also called a trilinear or triangular diagram.

Usage

ternaryPlot(x, y, z, Plot = list(name = "", what = "points", type =
  "solid", width = "standard", symbol = "circle", filled = TRUE, size =
  0.09, color = "black"), axis.range = c(0, 100), num.labels = 6,
  ticks = TRUE, grids = !ticks, orient = "c",
  xtitle = deparse(substitute(x)), ytitle = deparse(substitute(y)),
  ztitle = deparse(substitute(z)), units.title = "Percent",
  caption = "", margin = c(NA, NA, NA, NA))

Arguments

x	the x-axis (bottom) data.
y	the y-axis (left side) data.
z	the z-axis (right side) data. Note that x, y, and z do not need to sum to the axis range.
Plot	control parameters of the plot, see link{setMultiPlot} and Details for details.
axis.range	the range of the axes. Must be either c(0, 1) or c(0, 100).
num.labels	the number of labels to draw on each axis. Best selections are 2 giving (0, 100), 3 (0, 50, 100), 5 (0, 25, 50, 75, 100), or 6 (o, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100).
ticks	logical, if TRUE, then draw ticks.
grids	logical, if TRUE, then draw grid lines.
orient	the orientation of the graph. Must be "c" for clockwise or "a" for anti- or counter-clockwise
xtitle	title (also called caption) for the x-axis.
ytitle	title (also called caption) for the y-axis.
ztitle	title (also called caption) for the z-axis.
units.title	the units titles, should be either "Percent" of "Proportion" depending on axis.range.
caption	the figure caption.
margin	set up the plot area margins— ignored, included for consistency with other plotting functions in this package.

Details

The what component of the Plot argument must be either "points" or "none."

Value

Information about the graph.

Note

A call should be made to setPage to set up the graphics environment before calling piperPlot.
