Ternary plot legend won't display all samples

[Rob Striegl]

I have a ternary plot of 43 samples, but I can't get the legend to show all 43 samples. It only shows 14 samples. How do I get it to show the rest?

Hello Rob,

To select samples to display on your Ternary diagram, double click on the diagram to bring up Parameters for Ternary Diagram dialog. Click on the Samples pane and select samples from the available list. You can press 'Crtl' button while clicking to select multiple samples or click on the 'Select All' button if you want to display all samples. If needed, you can add samples to the "Add" or "Add all" button from the Ignore list to the Available list. Please see section 8 Gtplot in the GWB Essentials User Guide for more information. 

Best regards,

Hi Jia,

Yes, I am able to see all 43 samples on the plot, but the legend only shows 14 samples. This is the issue I need help with. Thanks.

Hi Rob,

Can you attach a screenshot of your Ternary plot and attach the .xtp file so someone can take a closer look?  

Thanks,

Hi Jia,

I've attached my spreadsheet and ternary plot.

Thanks for taking a look.

Hello Rob,

Thank you for the files. The issue here seems having multiple sample entries with same Sample ID. GSS expects each sample to have a unique Sample ID when entered into the spreadsheet. Perhaps you can add a unique identifier to your samples from different dates in the sample ID?
