Ternary (version 2.3.3)

ReflectedEquivalents: Reflected equivalents of points outside the ternary plot

Description

To avoid edge effects, it may be desirable to add the value of a point within a ternary plot with the value of its 'reflection' across the nearest axis or corner.

Usage

ReflectedEquivalents(x, y, direction = getOption("ternDirection", 1L))

Value

ReflectedEquivalents() returns a list of the x, y coordinates of the points produced if the given point is reflected across each of the edges or corners.

Arguments

x, y

Vectors of x and y coordinates of points.

direction

(optional) Integer specifying the direction that the current ternary plot should point: 1, up; 2, right; 3, down; 4, left.

Examples

TernaryPlot(axis.labels = FALSE, point = 4)

xy <- cbind(
  TernaryCoords(0.9, 0.08, 0.02),
  TernaryCoords(0.15, 0.8, 0.05),
  TernaryCoords(0.05, 0.1, 0.85)
)
x <- xy[1, ]
y <- xy[2, ]

points(x, y, col = "red", pch = 1:3)
ref <- ReflectedEquivalents(x, y)
points(ref[[1]][, 1], ref[[1]][, 2], col = "blue", pch = 1)
points(ref[[2]][, 1], ref[[2]][, 2], col = "green", pch = 2)
points(ref[[3]][, 1], ref[[3]][, 2], col = "orange", pch = 3)
