Plot a Maxwell triangle — triplot • pavo

Produces a Maxwell triangle plot.

triplot(
  tridata,
  labels = TRUE,
  achro = TRUE,
  achrocol = "grey",
  achrosize = 0.8,
  labels.cex = 1,
  out.lwd = 1,
  out.lcol = "black",
  out.lty = 1,
  margins = c(1, 1, 2, 2),
  square = TRUE,
  gamut = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

tridata	(required) a data frame, possibly a result from the `colspace()` or `trispace()` function, containing values for the 'x' and 'y' coordinates as columns (labeled as such).
labels	logical. Should the name of each cone be printed next to the corresponding vertex?
achro	should a point be plotted at the origin (defaults to `TRUE`)?
achrocol	color of the point at the origin `achro = TRUE` (defaults to `'grey'`).
achrosize	size of the point at the origin when `achro = TRUE` (defaults to `0.8`).
labels.cex	size of the arrow labels.
out.lwd, out.lcol, out.lty	graphical parameters for the plot outline.
margins	margins for the plot.
square	logical. Should the aspect ratio of the plot be held to 1:1? (defaults to `TRUE`).
gamut	logical. Should the polygon showing the possible colours given visual system and illuminant used in the analysis (defaults to `FALSE`). This option currently only works when `qcatch = Qi`.
...	additional graphical options. See `par()`.
