David,

   Mea culpa! I overlooked the man page for plot.acomp.

   When I add plotMissings=FALSE I see no differences in the output despite
there being zeros for a comple of variables in two years.

   The horizontal bar with colors and labels on top of each ternary diagram
is what I want to eliminate and replace with the dot seen in plots with no
more than 6 rows (years) of data. There are 3 data sets with 6 rows, 1 with
7 rows (jerritt), and one with 8 rows and no missing data. The latter two
have the horizontal bars while the former three have dots.

Thanks,

Rich
