Hi,

I have made some nice triangle plots showing the projected airborne, landborne and oceanborne fraction of anthropogenic emitted carbon dioxide at 10 year intervals for the next century.

Currently all ten points on my plot are identical so I can't distinguish between them. I would like to be able to track the trend as the century progresses.

How can I show the time progression on the plot (I was thinking a gradual colour, character type or character size change)?


Thanks for the help


Jim




The code I have used for the plot uses 'plotrix' (thanks to the Bristol mirror):

Fractions <-matrix(c(LF10,AF10,OF10), ncol=3)
colnames(Fractions, do.NULL = TRUE, prefix="col")
colnames(Fractions) <- c("Landborne fraction", "Airborne fraction", "Oceanborne fraction")
library(plotrix)
triax.plot(x=Fractions,main="Where do anthropogenic emissions reside?",at=seq(0.1,0.9,by=0.1),axis.labels=NULL, tick.labels=NULL,col.axis="black",cex.axis=1,cex.ticks=1,align.labels=TRUE,show.grid=TRUE,col.grid="gray",lty.grid=par("lty"),cc.axes=FALSE,show.legend=FALSE,label.points=FALSE,point.labels=NULL,col.symbols="2",pch=par("pch"),no.add=TRUE)


Hi Jim,
Have a look at the third example on the triax.plot help page, in particular the col.symbols argument.

Jim
