## ggtern

*An extension to ggplot2, for the creation of ternary diagrams.*

`ggtern` is a package that extends the functionality of [ggplot2](http://goo.gl/YDk79h), giving the capability to plot ternary diagrams for (subset of) the `ggplot2` proto geometries. Ternary diagrams are used frequently in a number of disciplines to graph compositional features for mixtures of three different elements or compounds. It is possible to represent a coordinate system having three (3) degrees of freedom, in 2D space, since the third dimention is linear and depends only on the other two. 

`ggtern` is a package that is based on (extends) the very popular `ggplot2`, which is an implementation of Wilkinsons [The Grammar of Graphics](http://goo.gl/G5DEo3),  and, makes provision for a highly methodical construction process for the development  of meaningful (graphical) data representations. Of course, the above book by Wilkinson outlines the theory, whilst Hadley Wickhams `ggplot2` implementation is where much of the magic happens, and, an ideal base-platform for `ggtern`.

### Installation

Install the latest release on CRAN, install just like any other R package:

```
  install.packages('ggtern')
```

To install the development / working version, use the `devtools` package:

```
  devtools::install_git('https://bitbucket.org/nicholasehamilton/ggtern')
```
