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

TAS diagram, as proposed by Cox et al. (1979) for volcanic rocks and adapted by Wilson (1989) for plutonic rocks contains following fields:
volcanic rocks | plutonic rocks |
basalt | gabbro |
basaltic andesite | undefined |
andesite | diorite |
dacite | quartz diorite (granodiorite) |
rhyolite | alkali granite/granite |
hawaiite | gabbro |
trachyandesite | undefined |
basanite/tephrite | undefined |
mugearite | syeno-diorite |
benmorite | syenite |
trachyte | syenite |
nephelinite | ijolite |
phonology nephelinite | undefined |
phonolitic tephrite | undefined |
phonolite | nepheline syenite |
For volcanic rocks, the following diagram is plotted:
And this is the version for plutonic rocks:

#TAS diagram is called using following auxiliary functions: #Classifies data stored in WR (Groups by diagram) classify("CoxVolc") #or classify("CoxPlut") #Plots data stored in WR or its subset (menu Classification) plotDiagram("CoxVolc", FALSE) #or plotDiagram("CoxPlut", FALSE)
