Project unity-summed triples (a, b, c) to unit-square doubles (x, y)

Description

Given a matrix of ternary values, this function will compute their x, y coordinates.

Usage

abc2xy(abc)

Arguments

Details

The x, y coordinates are scaled such that the altitude of the equilateral triangle defining the ternary space is equal to one.

Value

A matrix of x, y values, one per row
