assign colours to classes from classInterval object

findColours.Rd

This helper function is a wrapper for findCols to extract classes from a "classInterval" object and assign colours from a palette created by colorRampPalette from the two or more colours given in the pal argument. It also returns two attributes for use in constructing a legend.

Usage

findColours(clI, pal, under="under", over="over", between="-", 
 digits = getOption("digits"), cutlabels=TRUE)

Arguments

clI

a "classIntervals" object

pal

a character vector of at least two colour names; colorRampPalette is used internally to create the required number of colours

under

character string value for "under" in legend if cutlabels=FALSE

over

character string value for "over" in legend if cutlabels=FALSE

between

character string value for "between" in legend if cutlabels=FALSE

digits

minimal number of significant digits in legend

cutlabels

use cut-style labels in legend

Value

a character vector of colours with attributes: "table", a named frequency table; "palette", a character vector of colours corresponding to the specified breaks.
