findColours: assign colours to classes from classInterval object
In rsbivand/classInt: Choose Univariate Class Intervals

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

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.

1 2	findColours(clI, pal, under="under", over="over", between="-", digits = getOption("digits"), cutlabels=TRUE)

`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

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