Description

Plots triplets of compositional data on a ternary diagram

Usage

"plot"(x, type = "empty", pch = NA, pos = NULL, labels = names(x), showpath = FALSE, bg = NA, col = "cornflowerblue", ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class ternary

type

adds annotations to the ternary diagram, one of either empty, QFL.descriptive, QFL.folk or QFL.dickinson

pch

plot character, see ?par for details (may be a vector)

pos

position of the sample labels relative to the plot symbols if pch != NA

labels

vector of strings to be added to the plot symbols

showpath

if x has class SRDcorrected, and showpath==TRUE, the intermediate values of the SRD correction will be plotted on the ternary diagram as well as the final composition

bg

background colour for the plot symbols (may be a vector)

col

colour to be used for the background lines (if applicable)

...

optional arguments to the generic points function
