Hello everybody. I am a new learner of Origin, and I met some problems.
I want to draw a triangle to present the composition of a 3-element alloy system. Each line of the triangle corresponds to the percentage of each element. So if I know that in my alloy there is 30% A, 30% B, then I know there should be 1-30%-30%=40% C. Then I can put 30%, 30%,40% in x, y, z column and click the "ternary" button at the bottom of the tool bar. To do this, I have to add a new column and set it as Z column(I guess)in the very beginning, but actually it's a 2-D diagram, Z is related to X and Y.
Now I want to add a "real" Z axis to this 2-D triangle to make it a 3-D diagram. And I want to make the "real" Z value be presented in a column shape. Is it possible? Thank you very much!!!!

We currently do not support adding another dimension to Ternary plots. This is already on our list of things to consider for a future version. |

Hello,
I would like to design something similar (a ternary diagram with a vertical time axis). Is Origin upgraded in order to do so ?
Thank you ;) |

Hi,
Origin currently doesn't have such graph type, but as an alternative, you can merge a ternary plot (just a frame is fine) and a vector plot. See the screenshot below.

Here, the ternary coordinates (A(X) B(Y) C(Z)) are already normalized. You can pay attention the values of columns E-H which have formulae to obtain the vector coordinates in Cartesian XY.
Hope this helps.
