TERNARY PLOT

TERNARY PLOT

Description:

A ternary plot or a triangle plot, is a barycentric plot on three variables which sum to a constant.
It graphically depicts the ratios of the three variables as positions in an equilateral triangle.

• A ternary plot has 3 columns of data.
• In a ternary plot, the values of the three variables a, b, and c must sum to some constant, K.
  
• The constant is represented as 1.0 or 100%.
  
• Every point on a ternary plot represents a different composition of the three components.
