plotrix (version 1.41)

show.soil.texture: Display points on a soil texture triangle.

Description

show.soil.texture displays points on the soil triangle plotted by soil.texture as symbols. It is most useful for adding new points to an existing plot.

Usage

show.soil.texture(soiltexture,pch=NULL,col.symbols=NULL,bg.symbols=NA,
  show.legend=FALSE)

Arguments

soiltexture
Matrix of soil textures where each row is a soil sample and three columns contain the proportions of the components sand, silt and clay in the range 0 to 1 or the percentages in the range 0 to 100.
pch
Symbols to use for plotting the observations.
col.symbols
Colors to use for plotting the observations.
bg.symbols
Fill colors for symbols.
show.legend
Logical - whether to show a legend. If there are more than about six soil textures, it is probably better to add a legend separately.

Value

  • A list of the x,y positions of the soil types plotted.
