I'm fitting data from a mixture experiment, and I'd like to present the results in a ternary graph with contours. I found this code by Walmes Zeviani
http://n4.nabble.com/Triangular-filled-contour-plot-td1557386.html which is just what I want--except I would like the axis titles and labels to be proportionately larger than the ternary graph itself, for legibility in publication. When I increase the cex, the figure is cropped. I've spent a lot of time in the help files and Murrell's book, and searched archives trying to sort this out, with no success. I am running the code included below with R 2.10.1 on Windows XP Professional. Thank you, in advance, for your help.
