Soil Texture Plot

soiltextureplot helps you classify and visualize soil samples on ternary texture triangles.

Use this package when you want to:

• classify samples with the USDA or HYPRES systems
• plot samples on a ternary soil texture diagram
• combine classification and plotting in a small Python workflow

What You Need

• Python 3.12+
• tabular data with clay, sand, and silt percentages
• values that sum to 100 for each sample

Supported Systems

• USDA: United States Department of Agriculture soil texture classes
• HYPRES: HYdraulic PRoperties of European Soils classes

Typical Workflow

1. Install the package.
2. Load your data into a pandas DataFrame.
3. Pick a texture system.
4. Classify points and/or generate a ternary plot.
