R: Determine Breakpoints for Cut

exactCutBreaks {spatstat.utils} | R Documentation

## Determine Breakpoints for Cut

### Description

Computes the numerical breakpoints used by `cut.default`.

### Usage

    exactCutBreaks(x, breaks)

### Arguments

`x` | Numeric vector which would be converted to a factor.
`breaks` | Either a numeric vector of breakpoints, or a single integer giving the number of intervals into which `x` will be cut.

### Details

This function contains a copy of the code in `cut.default` which determines the numerical breakpoints used to convert `x` to a factor. It returns the breakpoints only.

The arguments `x` and `breaks` have the same interpretation as in `cut.default`. Only the range of `x` is used in the computation, so `x` could be replaced by `range(x)`.

This function would normally be used when `breaks` is a single integer specifying the number of intervals for the cut operation. It returns the exact numerical values of the breakpoints which are determined, but not returned, by `cut.default`).

### Value

Numeric vector.
