Triangular Plot

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_plot

A triangular plot, also known as a ternary plot, is a barycentric plot on three variables which sum to a constant and it is useful for graphically depicting the ratios of the three variables as positions in an equilateral triangle.  These plots are mainly used in physical chemistry, petrology, mineralogy, metallurgy, and several other physical sciences.  The triangular plot above is a flammability diagram for methane.
