Each of the three sides of a ternary plot represents a proportion of 0%, and the point of the triangle that is opposite that base represents a proportion of 100%. As a proportion increases in any one sample, the point that represents that sample moves from the base to the opposite point of the triangle.
Follow the instructions in Example of a Ternary Plot to produce the plot shown in Figure 11.6.
