Dear R-Users, I'd like to have some tips for a ternaryplot ("vcd"). I have this dataframe: a<- c (0.1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6, 0.2, 0, 0, 0.004166667, 0.45) b<- c (0.75,0.5,0,0.1,0.2,0.951612903,0.918103448,0.7875,0.45) c<- c (0.15,0,0.5,0.3,0.6,0.048387097,0.081896552,0.208333333,0.1) d<- c (500,2324.90,2551.44,1244.50, 551.22,-644.20,-377.17,-100, 2493.04)

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

Hi, I am trying to create a triangular plot to show the 'composition' of a set of items with three variables (historically the percent sand, silt and clay in soil). So far I have tried the 'soil texture triangle plot' in the package plotrix and the 'ternary or triangular plots' in the package cwhtool (cwhmisc). Both have strengths and weaknesses, but neither has a

Hello I am trying to add a ternary plot as a corner inset graph to a larger main ternary plot. I have successfully used add.scatter in the past for different kinds of plots but It doesn't seem to work for this particular function. It overlays the old plot rather than plotting as an inset. Here is a simple version of what I'm trying. Note that if I change the inset plot to be an ordinary

Colin, If your propose is to create a ternary plot with points and vectors, I think easier do this with graphics based plots instead of trellis based plots. Although, with little work you can do with trellis too. I gave you a reproducible code to put an arrow in a ternary plot. I use the function locator() to extract coordinates. The code is the following

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

Hi all, I am working on a filled contour plot which shows a triangular matrix data set (as shown below). Is there a possibilty to draw a triangular filled contour in a equilateral triangle (like a ternary plot)?

Hello, I have three x-y plots whose interesting data occurs at the same time. When I place them in the same plot, they tend to obscure each other. I was hoping to use persp or scatterplot3d to plot them 3-dimensionally, so that the plot is visually useful. My data is simple: x, for all three data sets, is a set of 885 ISOdates, where x <- x0 + seq(1, 885). y is the value of "io",

I need to plot multiple sets of data, on one Ternary plot (from the VCD package). Since they all need to be formatted differently, I can't just coerce them into one matrix, I need three separate calls. Is there a way to do this?

Dear R users, has anybody made an attempt to create the soil texture triangle graph in R? For an example see here: http://www.teachingkate.org/images/soiltria.gif I would like to get the lines in black and texture labels in gray to allow for plotting my texture results on top. Any examples or suggestions are very welcome! Thanks in advance, Sander. --

A student of mine has 110 similarly structured multivariate time series, and we're interested in methods that are practical for thousands of them. Basically each series describes a series of musical notes, and certain properties of these notes are recorded. The same set of properties is recorded for each series. The event times are irregular. The number of events and the event times are

Hi, I am trying to create what are called "spider diagrams" in the geochemical literature using R. A spider diagram is basically a plot of the atomic number versus the concentration on a log scale. Lines are drawn from each atomic number for each sample. Right now, my data frame looks like: SAMPLE SITE V3 LA.NASC LAATNUM CE.NASC CEATMNUM 1 1A:001

Hi, Is anyone on the list familiar with an R implementation of Piper Diagrams? Example: http://faculty.uml.edu/nelson_eby/89.315/IMAGES/Figure%209-78.jpg I am thinking that two calls to triax.plot (plotrix) along with some kind of affine-transformed standard plot would do the trick. Not so sure about the final layout, or a nice generalized version for something like lattice. Cheers, Dylan

A rather strange situation here and I've not found the source of the problem. The point is to print a ternary plot matrix of compositional data with ellipses enclosing 95% of the variance in each plot. The ellipses display on the monitor, dev = x11cairo (see attached winters-x11cairo.pdf), but not when sent directly to a file, dev = pdf (see attached winters-pdf.pdf). Here's

Hello all, I'm dealing with geochemical analyses of some rocks. If I use the full composition (31 elements or variables), I can get reasonable separation of my 6 sources. Then when I go onto do LDA with the 6 groups, I get excellent separation. I feel like I should be reducing the variables to thos that are providing the most discrimination between the groups as this is important

Dear list: I encountered some problems using the function point.in.polygon() of the sp package, when trying to determine whether some points lye inside, outside, on the border or on a vertice of a polygon. I have a list of point I know should lye right on the border of a polygon, but some of them are not classified as such by point.in.polygon() (see the example code below). To make a long story

Hi All, I've been trawling through the documentation and listserv archives on this topic -- but as yet have not found a solution. I'm sure this is pretty simple with R, but I cannot work out how without resorting to ugly nested loops. As far as I can tell, grep, match, and %in% are not the correct tools. Question: given these vectors -- patrn <- c(1,2,3,4) exmpl <-

I have some data (REE plots - geochemistry) where I have values 1:14 for the x axis, but have no data for some x values. Here for example, let's say that I don't have data for x=2,5,8. So x<-1:14 y<-c(4, NA, 5, 9, NA, 3.4, 8, NA, 19, 22, 12, 14, 15.3, 15) if I plot the data plot(x,y) and then I want to join with lines lines(x,y) How do I get it so the points join across the
