addBracket: Add Depth Brackets

In aqp: Algorithms for Quantitative Pedology

Add Depth Brackets

Description

Add depth brackets to soil profile sketches.

Usage

addBracket(
  x,
  label.cex = 0.75,
  tick.length = 0.05,
  arrow.length = 0.05,
  offset = -0.3,
  missing.bottom.depth = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	data.frame object containing idname(x), top, bottom, and optionally label columns
label.cex	scaling factor for label font
tick.length	length of bracket "tick" mark
arrow.length	length of arrowhead
offset	left-hand offset from each profile
missing.bottom.depth	distance (in depth units) to extend brackets that are missing a lower depth (defaults to max depth of collection)
...	further arguments passed on to segments or arrows

Details

x may contain multiple records per profile. Additional examples can be found in this tutorial.

Note

This is a low-level plotting function: you must first plot a SoilProfileCollection object before using this function.

Examples

# sample data
data(sp1)

# add color vector
sp1$soil_color <- with(sp1, munsell2rgb(hue, value, chroma))

# promote to SoilProfileCollection
depths(sp1) <- id ~ top + bottom

# plot profiles
par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 1))
plotSPC(sp1, width = 0.3)

# extract min--max depths associated with all A horizons
# result is a single-row data.frame / profile
combinedBracket <- function(i) {
  h <- horizons(i)
  idn <- idname(i)
  this.id <- h[[idn]][1]
  
  idx <- grep('^A', h$name)
  
  res <- data.frame(
    id = this.id,
    top = min(h$top[idx]), 
    bottom = max(h$bottom[idx], na.rm=TRUE)
  )
  names(res)[1] <- idn
  
  return(res)
}

# return matching horizon top / bottom depths for A or C horizons
# result is a 0 or more row data.frame / profile
individualBrackets <- function(i) {
  h <- horizons(i)
  idn <- idname(i)
  this.id <- h[[idn]][1]
  
  idx <- grep('^A|^C', h$name)
  
  res <- data.frame(
    id = this.id,
    top = h$top[idx], 
    bottom = h$bottom[idx]
  )
  names(res)[1] <- idn
  
  return(res)
}

# combined brackets
b1 <- profileApply(sp1, combinedBracket, frameify = TRUE)

# individual brackets
b2 <- profileApply(sp1, individualBrackets, frameify = TRUE)

# plot in reverse order
plotSPC(sp1, plot.order = rev(1:length(sp1)), width = 0.25)

# note that plotting order is derived from the call to `plotSPC(sp1)`
addBracket(b1, col='red', offset = -0.35)

# plot in reverse order
plotSPC(sp1, plot.order = rev(1:length(sp1)), width = 0.25)

# note that plotting order is derived from the call to `plotSPC(sp1)`
addBracket(b2, col='red', offset = -0.35)
