Assigns data for a Meschede's (1986) triangular
diagram into Figaro template (list 'sheet') and appropriate values
into 'x.data' and 'y.data'.
Meschede()
Triangular diagram with apices Zr/4, 2Nb and Y, proposed by Meschede (1986). The plot serves primarily for tectonic discrimination of tholeiitic basalts.
Abbreviations used in diagram represent following geotectonic settings:
| AI-AII | Within-Plate Alkaline Basalts |
| AII-C | Within-Plate Tholeiites |
| B | P-type Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts |
| D | N-type Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts |
| C-D | Volcanic Arc Basalts |
