Subset the horizons in a SoilProfileCollection using logical criteria

Description

subsetHz() is a function used for extracting horizons from a SoilProfileCollection based on logical criteria.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SoilProfileCollection'
subsetHz(x, ..., drop = TRUE)

Arguments

x	a SoilProfileCollection
...	Comma-separated set of R expressions that evaluate as TRUE or FALSE in context of horizon data frame. Length for individual expressions matches number of horizons, in x.
drop	Default: TRUE. When drop=FALSE placeholder horizons (profile ID with all other values NA) are created where the specified filter results in removal of all horizons.

Details

To minimize likelihood of issues with non-standard evaluation context, especially when using subsetHz() inside another function, all expressions used in ... should be in terms of variables that are in the horizon data frame.

Value

a SoilProfileCollection with a subset of horizons, possibly with some sites removed

Examples

data(sp3)

depths(sp3) <- id ~ top + bottom

# show just horizons with 10YR hues
plot(subsetHz(sp3, hue == '10YR'))
