find_breaks(n, breaks = 4, snap = 1, ceiling = FALSE)

n	a number to calcluate breaks for
breaks	the maximum number of segments you want to have
snap	the number defining where to snap to the nearest factor
ceiling	if TRUE, n is included in the breaks

Value

a vector of integers

Examples

# find four breaks from 1 to 100
find_breaks(100)

# find four breaks from 1 to 123, rounding to the nearest 20
find_breaks(123, snap = 20)

# note that there are only three breaks here because of the rounding
find_breaks(123, snap = 25)

# Include the value itself
