Provides the FAO Soil Reference Groups color scheme.

Usage

scale_colour_soil(..., lang = "en", aesthetics = "colour")

scale_color_soil(..., lang = "en", aesthetics = "colour")

scale_fill_soil(..., lang = "en", aesthetics = "fill")

scale_edge_colour_soil(..., lang = "en")

scale_edge_color_soil(..., lang = "en")

scale_edge_fill_soil(..., lang = "en")

Arguments

...

Arguments passed on to ggplot2::discrete_scale().

lang

A character string specifying the language for the color names (see details). It must be one of "en" (english, the default), "fr" (french) or NULL. If not NULL, the values will be matched based on the color names.

aesthetics

A character string or vector of character strings listing the name(s) of the aesthetic(s) that this scale works with.
