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.

Example

A	B	C
Sand	Silt	Clay
0.3	0.3	0.4
1	0	0
0	1	1
0	0	1
0.2	0.5	0.3
0.3	0.1	0.6
0.5	0.5	0
0.6	0.2	0.2
