munsell_to_rgb: Converts munsell colors to RGB colors

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

Description

This funcion converts a vector of munsell colors in the form hue value/chroma into an RGB R color. Vectors are passed to 'as.character' for conversion. Hue and chroma must be strictly separated by a space, whereas chroma and value by a '/'. It is internally called in the 'plot.profile.data.frame' function.

Usage

munsell_to_rgb(color, name)

Arguments

color	A string or vector containing Munsell color(s) in the form Hue value/chroma.
name	This argument is taken in the workflow of the 'plot.data.frame' function, with the purpose to give the horizon name in case of warning.

Details

The function separates Hue, value and chroma by calling 'substr' and then calls the function munsell2rgb aqp for the conversion into R colors. If the color is not existing (be either because of wrong separation between Hue value and chroma, or unexisting munsell color), it defaults to '#39302CFF' and returns a warning.

Value

A vector of R colors
