python-ternary
A Python library for creating ternary plots (triangular diagrams) using Matplotlib.
What is python-ternary?
python-ternary is a Python library built on Matplotlib for creating ternary plots, which are triangular diagrams used to visualize data composed of three components that sum to a constant. It solves the problem of plotting three-dimensional proportional data in two dimensions, commonly needed in scientific fields like chemistry, geology, and population genetics. The library provides functions for lines, curves, scatter plots, and heatmaps within the ternary coordinate system.
Scientists, researchers, and data analysts working with three-component systems, such as chemists analyzing phase diagrams, geologists studying soil compositions, or geneticists visualizing allele frequencies.
Developers choose python-ternary because it offers a seamless Matplotlib-integrated API for ternary plotting, supports multiple plot types and heatmap styles, and is specifically designed for scientific visualization where ternary diagrams are standard. Its compatibility with Matplotlib allows for extensive customization and easy integration into existing Python data analysis workflows.
