Triangular Plot


A triangular plot is a graph that measure three variables (one for each side of the triangle). This type of plot is commonly seen in geological studies to depict the relative compositions of soils and rocks. The triangular plot above uses different compositions as the variables for sand analysis. The numbers on the sides are scaled as percentages of the given composition and the inside is divided into 12 regions of USDA-specified soil textures.
