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,
  square = TRUE,
  gamut = FALSE,
  margins = NULL,
  ...
)

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.
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.
margins: Deprecated. Please use the standard par() method for custom margins.
...: additional graphical options. See par().
