- new function
flagOverlappingHz()
for identifying
horizons with perfect overlap
fillHzGaps()
, dice()
, slab()
,
and several other functions now safely handle horizons with perfect
overlap (#296)
aqp 2.0 (2023-08-28)
This is a major update to aqp that may create some issues for code
depending on specific inputs/outputs in aqp < 1.42, particularly
those relying on slice()
, slab()
, and
profile_compare()
. slice()
and
profile_compare()
are now deprecated, but will continue to
work for the rest of calendar year 2023. There are no plans to maintain
these functions beyond aqp 2.0. The new version of slab()
is a drop-in replacement for the previous version of the function.
Notable changes include:
- deprecation of
slice()
in favor of the new, faster,
more robust implementation in dice()
- complete overhaul of
slab()
, with new arguments, faster
back-end, and weighted aggregation implemented (finally)
- deprecation of
profile_compare()
in favor of the
NCSP()
–a complete overhaul based on Maynard et al., 2020
- site level attributes now handled by
compareSites()
- variable weights now possible via argument
perturb()
and estimatePSCS()
are now
vectorized, and optimized for larger collections
mixMunsell()
now uses
mixingMethod = 'exact'
by default for the simulation of
subtractive mixtures
gower
package moved to SUGGESTS
plotColorMixture()
now using grid graphics functions to
determine color swatch geometry and setting overlap detection
threshold
- removal of
PMS2Munsell()
and support data
- deprecation of
coordinates()<-
and
proj4string()<-
in favor of
initSpatial()<-
- removal of
rruff.sample
example XRD patterns
get.ml.hz()
no longer uses the name
argument
Major changes to plotSPC()
:
- The maximum depth range of the figure is now based on
max.depth
or max(x)
. This means that sketches
generated with aqp 2.x will generally have less white space at the
bottom of the figure. Make more room for additional annotation or visual
effect by setting the desired depth range with the
max.depth
argument.
- now uses
electroStatics_1D()
for fixing horizon depth
label overlap, solutions are deterministic and almost always better
- better depth axis interval heuristics (if not specified), varying
based on figure depth range
- depth axis adjustments via new argument
depth.axis
,
logical or list
- deprecation of arguments:
plot.depth.axis
: set via
depth.axis = TRUE
, depth.axis = FALSE
, or
customize depth.axis = list(...)
cex.depth.axis
: set via
depth.axis = list(cex = 1)
axis.line.offset
: set via
depth.axis = list(line = -2)
New features:
- example data,
wilson2022
- fast prototyping of SPCs via
quickSPC()
and list /
character templates
- re-use arguments to
plotSPC()
via
options(.aqp.plotSPC.args = list(...))
- coarse fragment classification via
fragmentSieve()
and
fragmentClasses()
- S4
as.data.frame(<SPC>)
as shorthand for
as(<SPC>, 'data.frame')
plotSPC()
now marks truncated profiles with a ragged
bottom
fixOverlap()
now has two label-placement solvers, based
on 1) electrostatics and 2) simulated annealing
- new depth axis
styles in
plotSPC()
Incremental changes, should have no effect on previous code:
- bug fix in
plotSPC()
when
fixLabelCollisions = TRUE
, adjustments suggested to
fixOverlap()
are now scaled correctly
explainPlotSPC()
reports label adjustment index when
label collision repair is enabled
- aesthetic cleanup in
explainPlotSPC()
soilColorSignature()
gains arguments and perceptual
color distances (dE00) via farver package
as(<SPC>, "data.frame")
: Replace
plyr::join()
with merge()
correctAWC()
: NA handling - return NA when frags are
NA
mutate_profile()
: Faster (data.table-based) evaluation
of profile-level expressions (#255)
profileApply
: Add support for custom
lapply()
-like function (APPLY.FUN
) for
processing chunks (#256)
- Add
.interpretHorizonColor()
outputs to
last_spc_plot
in aqp.env
for use in custom
legend()
(#254)
- Add
simplify
argument to
SoilTextureLevels()
and ssc_to_texcl()
to
optionally convert to an ordered factor with maximum of 12 levels
(rather than 21). This smaller list of classes excludes sand grain size
variants such as fine sand, loamy coarse sand, and very fine sandy
loam.

for helping visualize
differences in Munsell hue on the unit circle
plotSPC
defaults change:
width = 0.25
: slightly wider profile sketches
name = hzdesgnname(x)
: use metadata if present, no
longer guessing. This may cause your figures to “lose” previously
guessed horizon names, specify with name = 'column name'
or
set metadata with hzdesgnname(x) <- 'hzname'
aqp 1.31 (2021-08-19)
aqp 1.30 (2021-07-14)
unique
method for SoilProfileCollection

would
not match
- bugs like this will no longer be a possibility after aqp 2.0, new
SPC object structure planned
aqp 1.9.1 (2015-11-18)

aqp 1.6-4 (2014-02-14)
- When applied to a single categorical variable, the results from
slab() now contain an attribute ‘original.levels’ that contains the
original factor levels. This is important because when casting from
long->wide format, illegal column names are scrubbed by make.names().
This process would convert horizon designations like ‘2Bt’ into ‘X2Bt’.
You can recover the original horizon names via
attr(x, 'original.levels')
.

ddply
- function arguments have changed so be sure to check the manual
page
- user-supplied functions are now much simpler to write and rely on
vectors rather than data.frames (= faster)
- the next major release will contain additional examples of how to

- join added to the plyr imports
- added scales to the Imports as well, and removed rescaler() in the
code, repaced by scales::rescale
- hack in munsell2rgb to avoid the ‘no visible binding for global
variable ’munsell’ at package R CMD check and make the whole thing more
robust (using load and system.file rather than data(…)
- Dylan is now the only maintainer, as per Uwe request
- when using plyr **ply function, switched from using the .(foo)
interface to “foo” - seems more foolproof
aqp 1.0 (2012-03-26)
- 1.0 release, still missing condensed vignettes- should be ready
soon
- see https://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/taxonomy/term/56
for samples
- A small bug in profile_compare() was fixed, where slices were
evaluated as ‘soil’ based on the bottom depth of the profile, and NOT on
the presence of actual data. See ?profile_compare for details. This
change will have a minor affect on profile comparisons in cases where Cr
or R horizons (usually missing most characterization data) have been
extended down to some arbitrary depth (usually 150 or 200 cm) AND a
maximum depth of evaluation (max_d) was set beyond the actual depth of
most profiles in the collection.

- new examples
- error and warnings messages cleaned-up
aqp 0.99-9.52 (2012-01-31)
- converting all messages passed to the user from cat() to message()
and warning()
- profile_compare() and slab() now default to no progress
bars, see ‘progress’ argument to adjust
- profileApply() now provides access to all aspects of the
SoilProfileCollection object
- that means that: profileApply(SPC, function(x) … ) operates on x,
which is a soilProfileCollection containing only profile_i note that
this may break functionality based on aqp 0.99-9.3
aqp 0.99-9.4 (2012-01-09)
site(SCP) <- d
now tries to merge data from SPC@site
with ‘d’ via left join

@site data, containing
profile IDs
- plot-SoilProfileCollection now tries to guess the best orientation
of IDs
- override with id.style=‘top’ or id.style=‘side’

- fixed a bug in slice() where NA would be returned when IDs were
factors
- added test to depths()<- such that factor IDs are converted into
character IDs and a warning is issued
- added join conditions for most functions using plyr::join(),
resulting in less chatter on the console
aqp 0.99-8.58 (2011-12-21)
- WARNING: soil.slot.multiple() renamed to slab()

- soil.slot() will now accept boundaries defining a ‘slab’ over which
aggregates are computed
- soil.slot.multiple() now cleanly wraps soil.slot(), accepting all
arguments
- these two changes make it possible to ask: “what is the wt. mean
value of some property within this slab, and among these groups?”
- soil.slot.multiple() now uses a formula interface: NOTE that this
will break existing scripts (sorry)
aqp 0.99-7 (2011-09-01)
