#' @title Convert Horizon Boundary Distinctness to Vertical Offset
#' 
#' @description This function will convert USDA-NCSS horizon boundary distinctness codes into vertical (+/-) offsets in cm, based on the \href{https://nrcspad.sc.egov.usda.gov/DistributionCenter/product.aspx?ProductID=991}{Field Book for Describing and Sampling Soils, version 3.0}.
#' 
#' @author D.E. Beaudette
#' 
#' @param x vector of boundary distinctness codes to be converted
#' 
#' @param codes character vector of distinctness terms ('clear') or codes ('C'), case insensitive, see details
#' 
#' @param offset vertical offset factors (cm), approximating 1/2 of the transitional zone thickness, see details
#' 
#' @return vector of offsets with same length as \code{x}
#' 
#' @details The default offsets are based on the high-end of ranges presented in "transitional zone thickness criteria" from the Field Book version 3.0 (page 2-6). Offsets are returned as 1/2 of the transitional zone thickness so that horizon boundaries can be adjusted up/down from horizon depths. See \code{\link{plotSPC}}, specifically the \code{hz.distinctness.offset} argument for visualization ideas. Missing data in \code{x} (NA) or codes that are not defined in \code{codes} are returned as 0 offsets.
#' 
#' Either format (or mixture) are accepted, case insensitive:

#'   * terms: `c('very abrupt', 'abrupt', 'clear', 'gradual', 'diffuse')`
#'   * coded values: `c('v', 'a', 'c', 'g', d')`

#' @title Convert Horizon Boundary Topography to Line Type

#' @title Convert Horizon Boundary Topography to Vertical Offset
