Ternary Plot in IDL? [message #83820]

Googled that in the group and it doesn't seem to be anything done for that yet althought ppl have asked about it every now and then.

I am after a ternary plot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_plot
Was told that R has a function for it: http://rss.acs.unt.edu/Rdoc/library/vcd/html/ternaryplot.htm l

Wouldn't it be great if there was something like it in IDL?

maybe a cgTernaryPlot procedure? ;) ;)

cheers

I moved everything over to Github this winter, so that is the current
version and the one to watch going forward. Right now, I don't think
there is any functional difference.

Michael,

What's the difference between the library which can be accessed (and downloaded) from https://github.com/mgalloy/mglib (which includes the mg_ternaryplot procedure you mentioned) from the vis_ternaryPlot one documented in http://docs.idldev.com/vis/lineplots/vis_ternaryplot.html ?

Here's a start in direct graphics:

Dear JP,

I am aware that you requested Ternary plots in IDL, however, I wanted to mention that I have just published on CRAN, a package for R, for the plotting of ternary diagrams.

It is based off ggplot2, which is highly regarded, and, my website can be viewed at www.ggtern.com, including many examples, specifically including a case study at the following address:

I have been using Nick's ggtern for a while now and just updated it to Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit. It is a superior program for plotting ternary diagrams.
