Unroll Genetic Horizons
Description
Generate a discretized vector of genetic horizons along a user-defined pattern.
Usage
unroll(top, bottom, prop, max_depth, bottom_padding_value = NA, strict = FALSE)
Arguments
top |
vector of upper horizon boundaries, must be an integer |
bottom |
vector of lower horizon boundaries, must be an integer |
prop |
vector of some property to be "unrolled" over a regular sequence |
max_depth |
maximum depth to which missing data is padded with NA |
bottom_padding_value |
value to use when padding missing data |
strict |
should horizons be strictly checked for self-consistency? defaults to FALSE |
Details
This function is used internally by several higher-level components of the
aqp
package. Basic error checking is performed to make sure that
bottom and top horizon boundaries make sense. Note that the horizons should
be sorted according to depth before using this function. The
max_depth
argument is used to specify the maximum depth of profiles
within a collection, so that data from any profile shallower than this depth
is padded with NA.
Value
a vector of "unrolled" property values

Examples
data(sp1)
# subset a single soil profile:
sp1.1 <- subset(sp1, subset=id == 'P001')
# demonstrate how this function works
x <- with(sp1.1, unroll(top, bottom, prop, max_depth=50))
plot(x, 1:length(x), ylim=c(90,0), type='b', cex=0.5)
