hzDistinctnessCodeToOffset: Convert Horizon Distinctness Codes

Description

This function accepts a vector of horizon distinctness codes, a look-up vector of codes, and a corresponding vector of vertical offsets. The defaults are based on USDA-NCSS field methods.

Usage

hzDistinctnessCodeToOffset(x, codes = c("A", "C", "G", "D"), offset = c(0.5, 1.5, 5, 10))

Arguments

x

vector of distinctness codes to be converted to offsets

codes

vector of unique distinctness codes

offset

vector of offsets associated with distinctness codes

Value

• a vector of vertical offsets, with the same length as the number of distinctness codes passed to the function

Details

Missing data (NA) or codes that are not defined in the `codes' argument are returned as 0 offsets.
