『Abstract
TerCharts is a comprehensive, fast, flexible, and versatile ternary
charting utility that can be used for ternary data presentation
analysis and modeling across many scientific disciplines. TerCharts
is developed using Microsoft (MS) Excel 2003 and Visual Basic
for Applications (VBA) which is an object oriented programming
language developed by MS as a tool to enhance the capabilities
of MS products. The Excel-VBA interface is important because normally
chemical, geochemical, and mineralogical data used in teaching
and basic research are processed using Excel spreadsheets, making
TerCharts a more convenient tool for generating ternary charts
which in turn can be used for data presentation and analysis.
Ternary charts generated by this utility can be improved, edited,
and modified utilizing MS Excel's powerful charting and editing
techniques.
