Ternary Plot

Reveal the hidden structure of three-part data with the Ternary Plot Viz Extension. This extension plots the proportions of three variables onto an equilateral triangle, so every mark instantly shows how it splits across three competing categories, right inside your Tableau dashboards.

Whether you’re analysing survey responses where people allocate a fixed budget, comparing soil samples and alloy compositions or breaking down how audiences divide across three segments, this chart turns compositional data into a clear, elegant picture that standard charts simply can’t produce.

Why Ternary Plot Extension? When three values always add up to the same total, position tells the whole story. The Ternary Plot Viz Extension places each observation exactly where its three proportions meet, making patterns, clusters and outliers obvious at a glance. It’s precise, readable and fully customisable.

Features:

• Flexible Triangle Layout: Control axis direction, margins, stroke, colour and fill to frame your data exactly how you want it
• Rich Mark Styling: Adjust circle size, opacity and stroke, and merge overlapping marks to keep dense plots clean
• Discrete and Continuous Colour: Encode a fourth dimension with categorical or gradient colour for deeper insight
• Readable Guides: Configure grid lines, corner labels, tick marks and an optional reading guide for effortless interpretation

Bring compositional data to life with the Ternary Plot Viz Extension. This extension is ideal for anyone working with survey allocations, scientific compositions, market breakdowns or any dataset where three parts sum to a whole.
