Details

This function takes a user-specified character corresponding to one of the three ternary variables, and constructs a theme function which adds blank elements for that variable's grid elements and axis elements chosen from the ggtern package. This new function is then executed which "adds" this theme to the open ternary plot.

The logic of the species selection is pretty transparent so it may be possible to customize this function to add further affected elements as desired. However the computing on the language which drives this function has not been thoroughly tested. Neither has this function been tested with non-ternary plots available in the ggplot2 framework.

Examples

base = ggtern() + theme_rgbg()
base + theme_novar_tern("L")
base + theme_novar_tern(c("T","L"))
base + theme_novar_tern('L',R)
