『Abstract
Though several alternatives/modifications to the Piper diagram
are available, the Piper diagram is still the most common way
of representing chemical analyses. The present note shows how
to reproduce the Piper trilinear diagram in rectangular coordinates
retaining all the essential features of the trilinear diagram.
In this form, it can be generated using commonly used graphics
packages without requiring specialized software. A sample data
set of six samples from Gurur watershed, Chhattisgarh, India,
was used to illustrate the method. The patterns of points produced
in the trilinear Piper diagram and the reproduced Piper diagram
in rectangular coordinates are essentially identical.』
