R help - May 2005 - Ternary Plots with continuous data

Hello 

I have a data base consisting of soil parameters, and tree species 
densities.   The vcd (visualizing categorical data) package includes the 
ternaryplot function which plots the gravitation center of 3 prameters. 

I'd like to find a similar function for use with continuous data rather than
categorical. 

Does anyone know of a function suitable for this objective? 

Thanks 

Steve Friedman

I suppose that your data consists of percentage per soil categories. 
Otherwise, I do not really understand how you want use ternary plot.

see triangle.plot in ade4 package.
