similar to: Ternary or Triangular Plots (soil texture triangle plot)?

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. --

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)?

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

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

Hello, I need to chenge axes orirentation in triangle plot. (function triangle.plot in ade4 package) I want to plot elasticities of some species in demographic triangle, where axes values commnly increace "clockwise". If some better imangination is needed, see http://www.open.ac.uk/science/biosci/personalpages/j.silvertown/pdfs/Silvertown%20et%20al.%201993.pdf I am sorry if I just

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

Hello, I want to create a triangular matrix and only keep the lower triangle entries without having to allocate memory for the whole matrix, is there any way I can do something like  A<-matrix(data, nrow=50)  but for a triangular matrix? Thanks ERV [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have output from a program which produces a distance matrix I want to read into a clustering program in R. The output is a .txt file and is 'almost' lower triangular in the sense that it is just the triangle below the diagonal. So for example a 4-by-4 distance matrix appears as, 1 2 3 4 5 6 i.e. it looks like a lower triangular of a 3-by3. I thought I might be able

Hello, Using the dataset below I produce a soil.texture plot (R code for this included at the end). One will notice I have plotted the points based on whether or not they are in a region called 'upstream' or 'downstream'. I'm curious if there is a way to somehow extract counts of the number of points (red points and blue points) falling within each classification (e.g. silty

Hello, I have some xy data which clearly shows a non-monotonic, peaked triangular trend. You can get an idea of what it looks like with: x<-1:20 y<-c(2*x[1:10]+1,-2*x[11:20]+42) I've tried fitting a quadratic, but it just doesn't the data-structure with the break point adequately. Is there anyway to fit a triangular or 'tent' function to my data in R? Some sample code

Hi, Sorry to bother, but I checked around and did not succed creating a bundle from six existing packages (which are checkable, installable, etc. individually). I carefully followed the procedure given in ch. 1.1.5 Package bundles. However, I am getting hoffmann at fluke:~/R/Sources >R CMD check cwhmisc * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory

I am attempting to use the R Commander Graphs Quantile-Comparison functionality on a dataset, to compare with a triangular distribution. I have the package triangle. My question is on the syntax of how to specify the parameters of the theoretical distribution in the Parameters field of the dialog box. For example, the theoretical distribution has min of 3000, max of 5000, mode of 4000. When

I have a function for plotting soil texture that I am having a problem with. The function is: plot.psd <- function(sand, clay, ...) { conv.ter <- function(x, y) { x.con <- 100 - x - y*cos(1/3*pi) y.con <- y*sin(1/3*pi) data.frame(x=x.con, y=y.con) } plot(conv.ter(sand, clay), xlim = c(0,100), ylim = c(0,100*sin(1/3*pi)), axes = FALSE, xlab="",

Hi, I have a comma separated file with element names in first column like shown below : Name_1,0 Name_2,0.8878,0 Name_3,0.6777,0.7643,0 Name_4,0.9844,0.1234,0.1414,0 Original data is a 10000x10000 symmetric matrix (600 MB). To reduce file size, I have minimized matrix to only lower triangle. Is there a (memory) efficient way to 1) read file 2) compute first and second principal components and

I have plain-text data in lower triangular form that I want to read in. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu -=-=- University of Chicago $(B:MJ8$HCRF`H~$NIc(B -=-=- s-luppescu at uchicago.edu http://www.consortium-chicago.org/people/sl.html http://musuko.uchicago.edu/pubkey.asc for PGP

Sorry if this answer was already given, or if I miss the point, but did you have a look to "lowerTriangle" and "upperTriangle" functions in the "gdata" package ? # example # A<-matrix(rnorm(9),3,3) # B<-B<-matrix(NA,dim(A)[1],dim(A)[2]) # lowerTriangle(B)<-lowerTriangle(A) # upperTriangle(B)<-lowerTriangle(A) # diag(B)<-diag(A) Hope this helps,

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

I'm in e-mail contact with a geochemist who maintains a well regarded geochemistry web site. He's drawing diagrams either with a Turbo Pascal program running in a DOS window or with Excel. I'm trying to persuade him that R would be a better choice. Something he's particularly keen on is ternary diagrams. I think he is talking about ternary phase diagrams, and if so, it looks as

Hi all, May be there is a plot which shows 3 variables in a triangle, their sum being constant. I have forgotten its name, and a search in the engine using "plot" did not help. Does anyone know of such a procedure in R or S? Thank you --christian Dr.sc.math.Christian W.
