This plot shows the relative proportions of three variables in one diagramm. It is important that the proportion sum up to 100% and if the values of the variables are very different it is important to scale them to the same data range.
Usage
ternary(x, nam = NULL, grid = FALSE, ...)
Arguments
x
matrix with 3 columns
nam
names of the variables
grid
if TRUE the grid should be plotted
…
further graphical parameters, see par
Details
The relative proportion of each variable is computed and those points are plotted into the graphic.
