Convex Hull of a Set of Points

Computes and draws the convex hull of the set of points specified.

Usage

ternary_hull(x, y, z, ...)

# S4 method for class 'numeric,numeric,numeric'
ternary_hull(x, y, z, ...)

# S4 method for class 'ANY,missing,missing'
ternary_hull(x, y, z, ...)

Arguments

x, y, z

A numeric vector giving the x, y and z ternary coordinates of a set of points. If y and z are missing, an attempt is made to interpret x in a suitable way (see grDevices::xyz.coords()).

...

Further arguments to be passed to graphics::polygon().

Value

ternary_hull() is called it for its side-effects.
