Ternary plots as projections of Matplotlib

Mpltern (https://yuzie007.github.io/mpltern) is a Python plotting library based on Matplotlib specifically designed for ternary plots. Mpltern is implemented as a new projection for Matplotlib, with introducing e.g. new Transform classes for ternary plots. The followings are the features of mpltern when compared with other ternary-plot libraries:

• Many things one expects essentially possible using Matplotlib can be done also in mpltern, without e.g. ternary-to-Cartesian conversions on the user side

• For the same plotting styles, mpltern offers the same or very similar method names as Matplotlib does; you do not need to learn many new commands in addition to those for Matplotlib

• Tick markers, tick labels, and axis labels are automatically positioned with reasonable paddings inherited from Matplotlib; this allows users e.g. faster production of ternary plots with publication quality

• tight_layout and constrained_layout

• Easy combination with normal Matplotlib plots

• Easy application of seaborn styles

• Working also in Matplotlib interactive modes inside e.g. Jupyter notebooks
