each of the possible output minerals. The mineral leaving the
least leftover is selected, as long as the residual (measured
as a percent of the total) is less than or equal to the
input value.

Because there are so many shared parameters, it is possible to use
an XYPlot template as a model for a TriPlot, and vica-verca, with
few complications.  (e.g. needing to define a "Z" component)

be either "XYPlot" or "TriPlot".
If the view does not appear to be an XYPlot or a TriPlot view,
the function returns SEMPLOT_PLOT_UNKNOWN.

SEMPLOT_GROUP_CLASS constant

gx.SEMPLOT_GROUP_CLASS = 'Semplot'
SEMPLOT group class.

SEMPLOT_EXPORT constants

SEMPLOT export type selection.
gx.SEMPLOT_EXPORT_NORMAL = 0
Exports Sample info channels, oxides/ratios, totals, extra channels.
gx.SEMPLOT_EXPORT_NOEXTRA = 1
Exports Sample info, oxides/ratios, totals.

SEMPLOT_EXT constants

SEMPLOT file extension selection
gx.SEMPLOT_EXT_ALL = 0
Use for selection only. Selects both "Semplot" and "CHIMERA" type
files when creating LSTs etc.
gx.SEMPLOT_EXT_SEMPLOT = 1
Read/write templates with extensions ".xyt", ".tri" and ".semtemplate"
Read/write overlays with extensions ".oly" and ".semoverlay"
gx.SEMPLOT_EXT_CHIMERA = 2
Read/write templates with extensions ".geosoft_template"
Read/write overlays with extensions ".geosoft_overlay"

SEMPLOT_PLOT constants

SEMPLOT plot type selection.
gx.SEMPLOT_PLOT_ALL = 0
Use for selection only. Selects both "XYPlot" and "TriPlot"
plots when creating LSTs etc.
gx.SEMPLOT_PLOT_XYPLOT = 1
Select XY (Scatter) plot.
gx.SEMPLOT_PLOT_TRIPLOT = 2
Select Tri (Triangular) plot.
gx.SEMPLOT_PLOT_UNKNOWN = 3
Returned as an error status from some functions.
