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.
- In a ternary plot, the values of the three variables a, b, and c must sum to some constant, K.
- Usually, this constant is represented as 1.0 or 100%.
