To be fair, I am likely to do most of the work with "scribbling" and external demonstrations because this is also my first time stepping into the realm of ternary diagrams. reading steepness of the slopes), and read the compositions along any given isothermal contour. by analogy to topological maps), explain how we interpret these contour lines as variation in melting temperature with composition (e.g. * Demonstrate the process to obtain temperature contour lines (e.g. * Translate the above to how we should illustrate a common four-phase transition point (e.g. * Demonstrate how we should illustrate a eutectic tie line contour between two eutectic systems (e.g. * Demonstrate immiscibility gaps using this tutorial: * Demonstrate or determine the composition of a ternary component material from/as a point on the diagram (already done via my initial demonstration as well as via this tutorial: ). I just want to make a generalized ternary diagram to demonstrate these general learning outcomes: For teaching purposes the output may not be too bad. The only 'easy' way I know to construct the kind of ternaries that I'm used to is to use an Arrhenius parameterization of component distribution coefficients. I have to admit that, for teaching purposes, I find it much easier to project images of ternary phase diagrams and to scribble on top of them rather than calculating the phase diagram.

For a series of A, calculate B (and C=1-A-B) that gives you some temperature, then run the A,B,C component coordinates through the ternary package to plot a curve in X-Y. If you know T(A,B,C), maybe it's better to calculate contours rather than relying on a contouring algorithm to get it right. Unless you construct a very densely-packed grid near the intersection of surfaces (around cotectics, for instance), it's probably better to treat each surface separately for contouring, then find a way to mask the contours outside of the stability region for that surface. If you want to show something like melting in a ternary eutectic system, you will have multiple intersecting surfaces to contour. It depends on the topology that you wish to represent.
