depths: Converts depths into suitable mean points for each horizon in...

In soilprofile: A package to consistently represent soil properties along a soil profile

Description

This function is internally called in 'build.profile', but can be run by itself when you want to plot a depth function of given soil properties.

Usage

depths(depths, horizon.names)

Arguments

depths	A vector of depths in the form upper_boundary - lower_boundary or in the form upper_boundary - lower_boundary1/lower_boundary2 in case of irregular boundaries. Conversion is simply an average between upper and lower boundary. See examples for details.
horizon.names	A vector of names, same as 'names' option in build.profile().

Value

A dataframe with a vector containing the given mean point for each horizon and a vector with horizon names.
