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

Suppose I have three numbers p1, p2, p3 with 0 <= p1,p2,p3 <= 1 and p1+p2+p3=1, and a function f=f(p1,p2,p3) = f(p1,p2,1-p1-p2). How to draw a contour plot of f() on the p1+p2+p3=1 plane, that is, an equilateral triangle? Functions triplot(), triangle.plot(), and ternaryplot() give only scatterplots, AFAICS -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst National Oceanography Centre,

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 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

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)?

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)

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

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?

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, I am looking for a book from which one could learn a wide range of graphics in R, from the very beginning topics to those advanced (though not necessarily concerned with a particular method or topic). I don't look for a list of such books since this is on R's web page, I am rather interested in your opinion on these books - which you would recommend. The quality of writing and

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

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. --

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 am new to R, so this is most likely a dumb question. I just installed the vcb package, but when I try to use a function from it (ternaryplot) I get an error message saying 'could not find function: ternaryplot'. I'm pretty confident that my script is correct, so I'm assuming that I did not properly install the package. Is there another step past downloading, and selecting

Hi Im using the VEGAN package to do an RDA ordination. In my plot I get my environmental scores as arrows/vectors, but my species scores as points. I would like to get the species scores as arrows as well. I tried the envfit function, and this creates arrows, but the lenght is not proportionate to the strengh of the correlation and the point is still there (so I both have point and arrow). fit

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

Dear all, To draw a lowess line on a plot was a piece of cake; to draw a loess line, however, seems not that easy. Is the loess plotting implemented at all in relation to the loess function, or do I have to look in add-on packages? Thanks, Marcin
