  1. Thanks Jia! That is a BRILLIANT suggestion! Another question about axis scale 0-100 direction. When plotting Piper diagrams, the anion ternary diagram ( bottom right ternary plot in a piper diagram)shows the 0-100 axis in a anti-clockwise fashion. However, when the same anion ternary diagram is plotted on it's own, the 0-100 axis flips to a clockwise direction. At first glance, the anion ternary plotted using both methods seem to show different bore positions. However, upon closer inspection, the values are correct ( the bore positions have simply swapped because the axis direction has changed. Technically, we are not presenting any wrong information but i would love to be able to swap the direction of the axis from clockwise to anti clockwise, so that it's standardised with piper diagram presentation. Please tell me this is possible and if so, how do we do it? Example of a piper plot and individual anion as well as cation ternary diagram for the same bore called DS0 are attached. Note the swapped directions of axis scale for the ternary anion versus piper anion, thus displaying different bore locations in both the piper and ternary diagrams. This is however, not observed with the ternary cation plot. Ternary cation is included to show how the axis scale direction stays the same, and hence the bore locations in both the piper and ternary don't differ. Thanks so much Jia.
  2. Hi Jia, Thank you so much for all your help. I managed to retrieve the numerical values from Piper as per your advice. It gives me the same raw data that i entered into GSS prior to plotting the Piper diagrams. I realised however that it may not be as helpful as i thought it would be to achieve what i want. I have plotted the piper diagrams for several groundwater bores over a period of 1 year( see attached examples of Mid DS72, Mid DS24, Mid DS17West and Mid DS17East). Based on the piper groundwater chemistry classification diagram (also attached), I would like to then superimpose all the diamond plots on top of one another so that I can replace the plots with just the name of the bore (rather than the individual points). So I would identify where the average cluster is for a certain bore, and add a text box at that spot to type the name of the bore. I thought that retrieving the numerical values could help me replot the image but it's trickier than i thought. See attached image of how I need to superimpose the diamond plots in order the replace the average points of each bore with just the name of the bore. This allows us to accurately visualise where each bore sits within the 4 groundwater classification groups. The way I have done it is to ensure each piper diamond plot is the same size as the final diamond plot with the bore name. I then superimpose the final diamond plot on the individual diamond plot, change the transparency to 100% and add a text box to type in the name of the bore. Repeat with all the other bores. It does the job but it's not a very professional way of doing it, particularly for a journal paper. Do you have any suggestions on how i can superimpose it using the software? Many thanks in advance Jia. Geochemist Forum question.docx
  3. Hello Jia Wang! Thank you so much for your response. I have done just that and it has worked beautifully. I was wondering if you can help with 2 other questions. I've successfully plotted piper diagrams and would like to extract the values used to plot the diamond in the piper plot. How do i access these values within GWB Student version? Do i have to purchase the full version in order to access it? At the moment, all we have is a piper diagram, with no actual values to be stored in a spreadsheet. I am hoping to have the values presented in columns, so my colleague can use them for another project. I have also successfully plotted Stiff plots but I'd like to tell GWB Student edition to plot them in a specific array in order to save space for journal publication. At the moment, i can tell it the maximum number of samples to plot and it would spit it out in a specific array. Is it possible to plot them all in vertical strips. For eg, if I have 6 samples to plot, GWB may plot the stiff plots in an array of 3x2 (3 across, 2 down) or 6x1 (6 samples horizontally in 1 line). But I'd like them to be plotted 1x6 (all 6 samples appearing vertically, in a column like fashion. Again, are all these functions restricted in the student version? I wouldn't mind purchasing the full version (professional/standard/essential) in order to gain access to the full suite of the software as well as have the watermark removed. Thank you in advance to anyone that can provide some advice.
  4. Hi, I have succesfully plotted piper and stiff diagrams and would also like to plot Gibbs diagram. Does the GWB student version allow me to do so or is it only available with the full version. If so, do I purchase the professional, standard or essentials version? Thanks.
