Do you know the type of visualization this is? I would like to understand how to reproduce this.

The caloric ratio visualization looks like a triangular graph to me. The three elements have to add up to 100%

For another example, go here: http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3t.html#shipgrid and scroll down to the grid.
