AFM {GCDkit} | R Documentation |
Assigns data for AFM ternary diagram into Figaro template (list 'sheet
') and appropriate values into 'x.data
' and 'y.data
'.

Logical: Should the template use boundary defined by equation? |
The AFM diagram is a triangular plot with apices A, F and M defined as follows:
A = (K2O + Na2O) wt. %
F = FeOtot wt. %
M = MgO wt. %
A + F + M = 100 %
The classification diagram divides data into 'tholeiite series' and 'calc-alkaline series' as proposed by Irvine & Baragar (1971). For extreme values linear extrapolation of boundary curve is employed.

#Within GCDkit, AFM is called using following auxiliary functions: #To Classify data stored in WR (Groups by diagram) classify("AFM") #To plot data stored in WR or its subset (menu Classification) plotDiagram("AFM", FALSE)
