Ternary plots

Hi everyone, Sorry about last message, the send key slipped. Does anybody know about ternary (tertiary?) plotting functions for R - they're triangular things used much beloved by chemists for plotting compositional data.

There is an example of a ternary plot in the dataset 'Skye' in the package 'MASS':

... I'm a chemist and I HATE ternary diagrams. I'm hoping to use R to show the people I work with that there are better ways, at least for the types of correlations we're dealing with. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
