R help - Sep 2008 - A ternary graph's scales

Hi all,

I am drawing a ternary graph. Everything is fine with both ternaryplot
(package vcd) and triangle.plot (package ade4), but I want to present
scales in neither percents nor from 0 to 1 (this is actually the only
option I found in both functions). I want the scales to be in a
natural scale (from 0 to k, k being the number of objects). Is it at
all possible? (Descriptions of both functions do not mention this
possibility.)

Thanks,
Marcin

There is also the tri function in the cwhtool package, triax.plot in the plotrix
package, and triplot in the TeachingDemos package (I think it is between this
plot and progress bars as to what functionality is reproduced in the most
packages).  One of the others may do what you want, or be modifiable to do what
you want.

The triplot (TeachingDemos) does not put scales on by default, but does had an
'add' argument that could possibly be used to add scales after the fact,
or the code is fairly short and simple to see what the transformation is to add
scale manually.

Hope this helps,
