[R] triangular plot
Sorry for probably again an easy question but I can not find the solution... Using the ade4 package I am drawing a triangular graph: triangle.plot(data2, label = row.names(data2), clab=0.6, show.position=FALSE, box=FALSE) Which is what I want. Unfortunately the labels have a frame and a white background. I would like to have them without frame and colour, similar to what you get with type=text. I tried various things (box, boxes, label.color and settings of par via fg or bg=transparent) without luck. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance With kind regards Johannes -- Project Coordinator BIOTA West Amphibians Museum of Natural History Dep. of Research (Herpetology) Invalidenstrasse 43 D-10115 Berlin Tel: +49 (0)30 2093 8708 Fax: +49 (0)30 2093 8565 http://www.biota-africa.org http://community-ecology.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

triangle.plot does not have optional parameters to be passed to
accessory functions. Furthermore, it calls scatterutil.eti for the
plotting of boxes which has hard-coded white background in the boxes.
As far as I can tell triangle.plot does not pass a color argument for
the borders of the boxes.
scatterutil.eti
function (x, y, label, clabel, boxes = TRUE, coul = rep(1, length(x)),
horizontal = TRUE)
snipped code
if (boxes) {
rect(x1 - xh/2, y1 - yh/2, x1 + xh/2, y1 + yh/2,
col = white, border = coul[i])
snipped code
scatterutil.eti2
function (x, y, label, clabel, boxes = TRUE, coul = rep(1, length(x)),
horizontal = TRUE)
snipped code
if (boxes) {
rect(x1 - xh/2, y1 - yh/2, x1 + xh/2, y1 + yh/2,
col = transparent, border = coul[i])
snipped code
I made up a triangle.plot2 and a scatterutil.eti2 with
col=transparent and provision for passing color parameters to the
borders of the boxes and a got part of the way toward what you are
asking requesting. There is a remaining glitch when I use the first
example in the triangle.plot help page. A minority of items still get
boxes even though they are transparent. Probably has to do with the
default assignment of coul[i] to border. That could certainly be
altered as well.
I could not tell exactly what you mean by have them without frame and
colour either because of your use of the indefinite English pronoun
or the use of Aristotelean logic. They (the boxes anyway) currently
have no color. Did you want color added to something? At any rate
you can do the same sort of function hacking as I did. There are no
methods or other complicating issues in your way. All the source is
at the surface.
