Hi,

Is anyone on the list familiar with an R implementation of Piper Diagrams?

Example:

I am thinking that two calls to triax.plot (plotrix) along with some kind of affine-transformed standard plot would do the trick. Not so sure about the final layout, or a nice generalized version for something like lattice.

Hi Dylan,
You're correct about the lower two triangle plots, triax.plot would handle these (although there would probably be a bit of hacking about to get the two plots in the right place). I don't understand the upper rhombus. As a third triangle plot I can get it, but the bottom half seems to be either redundant or nonsensical (you can't have negative proportions of components). If I have some time, I'll look up "piper plot" and try to work out what it all means.

Jim
