The number of significant digits to round the class limits to.
cutter
Function used to create the break points. Can be user defined or a supplied cut function.
n
The number of classes. The should be one more than the number of break points.
params
Other parameters to be passed to the cut function.
cols
List of colours for shading each class. length(cols) should be equal to n.
Details
Returns an object of class shading, as set out below:
Value
An object of class shading, having the following list elements:
breaks
Break points between choropleth classes. length(cols)
cols
Colours to shade in each class. length(cols) should be one more than length(breaks)

Examples
# Read in map data and compute a rate for mapping
sids <- readShapePoly(system.file("shapes/sids.shp", package="maptools")[1],
proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat +ellps=clrk66"))
sids.rate=10000*sids$SID74/sids$BIR74
# Create the shading scheme, plot a choropleth map and add a legend

choropleth(sids,sids.rate,shades)
choro.legend(-83.77,37.87,shades,fmt="%4.1f",title='Rate per 10,000')
# Now again with a different set of class intervals and colours
shades = auto.shading(sids.rate,n=6,cutter=rangeCuts,cols=brewer.pal(6,'Greens'))
choropleth(sids,sids.rate,shades)
