[Rd] Small change to "cut.default"

[Jonathan Rougier]

Hi everyone,

Can I suggest the following cosmetic change to cut.default (R-1.3.1), to
adjust the labels in the case that include.lowest = TRUE:

arrow:dma0jcr% diff -u cut.R my.cut.R 
--- cut.R       Tue Nov 13 12:28:35 2001
+++ my.cut.R    Tue Nov 13 12:35:16 2001
@@ -25,6 +25,11 @@
                         ch.br[-nb], ",", ch.br[-1],
                         if(right)"]" else ")", sep='')
            else paste("Range", 1:(nb - 1),sep="_")
+            if (ok && include.lowest)
+               if (right)
+                       labels[1] <- gsub("^\\(", "\\[", labels[1])
+                else
+                       labels[nb-1] <- gsub("\\)$", "\\]",
labels[nb-1])
     } else if (is.logical(labels) && !labels)
         codes.only <- TRUE
     else if (length(labels) != nb-1)

Thus we have (noticing the labels)

> pp <- rpois(10, lambda = 1)
> breaks <- c(0:2, Inf)
> cut(pp, breaks = breaks)
 [1] NA    (0,1] (0,1] (0,1] NA    NA    NA    (0,1] (1,2] (1,2]
Levels:  (0,1] (1,2] (2,Inf] 
> cut(pp, breaks = breaks, include.lowest = TRUE)
 [1] [0,1] [0,1] [0,1] [0,1] [0,1] [0,1] [0,1] [0,1] (1,2] (1,2]
Levels:  [0,1] (1,2] (2,Inf] 
> cut(pp, breaks = breaks, include.lowest = TRUE, right = FALSE)
 [1] [0,1)   [1,2)   [1,2)   [1,2)   [0,1)   [0,1)   [0,1)   [1,2)  
[2,Inf]
[10] [2,Inf]
Levels:  [0,1) [1,2) [2,Inf] 
> cut(pp, breaks = breaks, right = FALSE)
 [1] [0,1)   [1,2)   [1,2)   [1,2)   [0,1)   [0,1)   [0,1)   [1,2)  
[2,Inf)
[10] [2,Inf)
Levels:  [0,1) [1,2) [2,Inf) 

Cheers, Jonathan.
