# sharpshootR

This package contains a mish-mash of functionality and sample data related to the daily business of soil survey operations with the USDA-NRCS. Many of the functions are highly specialized and inherit default arguments from the names used by the various NCSS (National Cooperative Soil Survey) databases.

## Installation

Get the stable version from CRAN:

```{r eval = FALSE}
install.packages('sharpshootR', dep = TRUE)
```

Get the development version from Github, after installing the CRAN version + dependencies:

```{r eval = FALSE}
remotes::install_github("ncss-tech/sharpshootR", dependencies=FALSE, upgrade=FALSE, build=FALSE)
```

### Install Suggested Packages
```{r eval = FALSE}
p <- c("MASS", "spdep", "circlize", "rvest", "xml2", "terra", 
       "raster", "exactextractr", "httr", "jsonlite", "igraph",

## Examples

```{r fig.width=9, fig.height=5}
library(sharpshootR)
library(aqp)

# some example soil series, from soilDB::fetchOSD()
data("OSDexamples")

# extract Soil Profile Collection
x <- OSDexamples$SPC

# use the first 10 profiles
x <- x[1:10, ]

# arrange according to subgroup classification
SoilTaxonomyDendrogram(
  x, 
  KST.order = TRUE,
  scaling.factor = 0.02,
  cex.taxon.labels = 0.75,
  width = 0.33, 
  max.depth = 150, 
  depth.axis = list(line = -3, cex = 0.8, style = 'compact'),
  hz.distinctness.offset = 'hzd'
