Render a soilKey classification report

Produces a pedologist-facing report from one or more ClassificationResult objects, optionally including the source PedonRecord. The HTML output is fully self-contained (single file, inline CSS); the PDF output goes through rmarkdown::render() and therefore requires a working LaTeX install (or one of the alternative engines accepted by rmarkdown).

Usage

report(
  x,
  file,
  format = c("auto", "html", "pdf"),
  pedon = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  include_family = FALSE,
  specifiers = FALSE,
  lang = c("en", "pt"),
  ...
)

Arguments

x

A ClassificationResult, a list of ClassificationResults, or a PedonRecord (in which case all three keys are run automatically).

file

Output path. The format is inferred from the extension (.html or .pdf) unless format is given explicitly.

format

One of "auto", "html", "pdf".

pedon

Optional PedonRecord; when provided, its horizons table and provenance log are included.

title

Optional report title.

include_family

When x is a PedonRecord (so the three keys are run here), passes through to classify_usda to append the USDA family (5th category) to the subgroup. Default FALSE keeps the output byte-identical to earlier versions.

specifiers

When x is a PedonRecord, passes through to classify_wrb2022 to attach WRB depth specifiers (Epi-/Endo-/...) to depth-anchored qualifiers. Default FALSE. Both flags are ignored when x is already a (list of) ClassificationResult.

lang

Report language; "en" (default) or "pt" (Brazilian Portuguese).

...

Passed to method-specific renderers.

Value

The output path, invisibly.

Details

This is an S3 generic with methods for ClassificationResult, list, and PedonRecord. Most users call report() directly with a list of three results (list(classify_wrb2022(p), classify_sibcs(p), classify_usda(p))) to get a cross-system one-pager.

Examples

pedon <- make_ferralsol_canonical()
out <- file.path(tempdir(), "soilkey_report.html")
report(pedon, file = out, pedon = pedon)
file.exists(out)
#> [1] TRUE
