Hi,

I'm assuming that by CIE Diagram, you mean the 1931 2 deg standard.  Tables of 
these (and other CIE standards) can be found at the site http://www.cvrl.org 
maintained by Andrew Stockman.  You can find and download these classic CIE 
data and more modern versions from there.  

Since you have plotted the spectrum locus of the chromaticity diagram (I'm 
supposing), you ought to be able to just pick off the wavelengths that you want 
and add a small point or a small line as a tick mark.  If you want it oriented, 
you'll have to do a little calculation to get the direction perpendicular to 
the spectrum locus at each wavelength, but that's not too complicated.

I recently needed a figure for a talk and downloaded the 2 deg 1931 data from 
the above website and used points to indicate specific wavelengths that 
interested me.  The code is below:

d <- read.csv("ciexyz31_1.csv", header = FALSE, stringsAsFactors = TRUE)
names(d) <- c("Wavelength", "X", "Y", "Z")
d$x <- with(d, X/(X + Y + Z))
d$y <-  with(d, Y/(X + Y + Z))

par(pty = "s")
plot(y ~ x, d, type = "l", axes = 'FALSE',
        xlim = c(0, 1), ylim = c(0, 1))
lines(y[c(1, nrow(d))]~ x[c(1, nrow(d))], d)
axis(1, seq(0, 1, 0.2))
axis(2, seq(0, 1, 0.2))
lines(c(0, 1), c(1, 0), col = "blue", lwd = 2, lty = 2)

points(d[d$Wavelength == 555, ]$x, d[d$Wavelength == 555, ]$y, pch = 16, col = 
"green")
points(d[d$Wavelength == 589, ]$x, d[d$Wavelength == 589, ]$y, pch = 16, col = 
"yellow")
points(d[d$Wavelength == 670, ]$x, d[d$Wavelength == 670, ]$y, pch = 16, col = 
"red")

Good luck.

best,

Ken


# Hy,

# for plotting CIE Diagrams i found Package pavo with function cieplot. 
# That works fine.
# Now i want to have wavelength tick marks as well around the plotting area.
# Is there a way to do so, also other ways/Pakages to plot are welcome.

# My sample Code:
   # library(pavo)

   # coldat2 <- as.data.frame(matrix(rep(1/3, 3), nrow = 1, ncol = 3))

   # # Make sure this dataset works with the cieplot() function
   # attr(coldat2, "clrsp") <- "CIEXYZ"
   # colnames(coldat2) <- c("x", "y", "z")

   # cieplot(coldat2, col="white", main="CIE Test Plot")



# Best regards
# Tilmann
