Importance plots with missing component (env, BI, space)

[florianhartig]

If there is no spatial component, the importance plot produces a barplot instead of the ternary plot. I wonder if we should just keep the ternary plot, and set space (or any other component) to zero if it is absent?

I thought about it but I think that the ternary plot is difficult to read/understand and I would avoid the ternary plot whenever possible.

Well, why difficult to read? I mean, it's a bit redundant, but on the other hand, you always get the same plot, which makes it easier for the user.

To avoid misinterpretation, one could maybe highlight components that are not present in the model graphically (text, greying out)
