Ternary Diagram Plot - Introduction

A Ternary Diagram Plot are in chemistry used for depicting chemical compositions - phase diagrams. These diagrams are three-dimensional but is illustrated in two-dimensions for ease of drawing and interpretation. In a ternary diagram the relative percentage (normally weight %) of three components are represented by A, B and C. The only requirement is that the three components have to sum to 100%. If they don't, you have to normalize them to 100%.

Data Entry - Ternary phase diagram plotter

Both symbol and text can be inserted in CHEMIX ternary diagrams. A and B can only be inserted as %. Text fragments in which may follow the numbers A and B must only partly contain numbers e.g. 10 10 L1 where L1 is the text fragment.
Data Entry Commands: There are fouor commands that can be inserted in the end of each text string, these are:
[sf]=small font, [bf]=big font, [-s]=hide symbol and [-t]=hide.
Examples:
20 50 Comment[-t] Symbol only (no text)
30 40 Text Only[-s] Text only (no symbol)
20 50 Text Only[sf] Small Font
30 30 Text Only[bf] Big Font
40 40 Big Text Only[-s][bf] Big Font (no symbol)
20 50 Comment[-t] Symbol only (no text)
40 40 Text Only[-s][-t] Absolutely nothing (no symbol and no text)
Text Insertion: Insert two numbers (A and B normally weight %) and text representing a phase (e.g. L1) separated by spaces. Because L1 is not a number it will be identified as text in which always must be placed after the two numbers A and B e.g. 20 35 L1 (A=20% , B=35% Text=L1).
Negative numbers are not allowed. C will be calculated as C=100%-A-B. The sum (A+B) must not exceed 100%.

Calculate: After inserting or changing the content in the A(%) B(%) Text-field, you have to re-calculate

Legend: Insert legend text in this field.

Splines: Spline points may be created interactively by clicking the mouse pointer (cross) within the triangular area (making blue lined rectangles). First and last point may be connected by selecting connect. You may move spline points by hand. Simply locate the mouse pointer within a blue lined rectangular area, click the left mouse button and move the mouse pointer/rectangle. Spline points may be removed by clicking the right mouse button with the mouse pointer located within a blue lined rectangular area. 10 independent set of splines each containing up to 50 spline points may be selected/created from the splines - drop down selection box.
Delete all spline points from the selected spline set by the push button Delete.
