Triangular Plot

http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2007/msg00384.html
A triangular plot tracks data points on three variable values. Each corner represents a maximum value. This particular triangular plot models three different potential trains of waves generated from a tsunami off the coast of Kauai. It is used to find what combinations of earthquake energy between the different potential wave sources will produce the greatest wave at an impact site. The data is plotted into ranges, and the ranges are colored to provide a clear visual representation of the data.
