The ternary 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.

It is often used in physical chemistry, petrology, mineralogy, metallurgy, and other physical sciences to show the compositions of systems composed of three species.

Data Requirement

To make the ternary plot work properly, the underlying data must be formatted in a certain way, with three numerical columns each representing different parts of a whole, per row.

The ternary plot assumes that values for each marker, across bottom (B), left (L) and right ® axis are a share of something normalizable to a SUM of B + L + R = 100% and the coordinates will be normalized as such.

For detailed information on data requirements, the available settings, and an example of how to set up the visualization, read the mod's community article.
