A triangle plot, or ternary plot is used to compare three different variables to one constant. If the three variables don't equal the constant then a triangle plot is not possible. Mostly used in physical chemistry triangle plots are great for comparing the variables of three things, much like the USDA uses it in the above picture to test the three soil types. In the map or graph you can see how the three variables all sum to 100%, which makes it possible. It also simplifies the process of analyzing the data.
