They are common and yet I still really struggle to quickly understand what any points but the three extremes mean. I’m not sure there’s an alternative though.
Took me a minute to fully parse, I’ll try to explain
Each edge of the triangle is 0-100% of each mode, thus the center is 33% of each mode because of the skew in the ‘grid’.
Then the thickness/color represents the population, the data just happens to work that there’s a strong correlation between population and change in modal percent, making the constant gradients.
The graphs on the left convey essencially the same information. It would be a lot more interesting to see where individual nations/cities sit within the ternary graph

This makes sense in principle but none the less I still feel my self struggling to quickly see the difference between to points on these plots.

my problem is that from any node there are two possible lines to an edgezand I’m never sure which is the correct one
Right this is the thing I cant ever seems to quickly get.
