[R] levels values of cut()

Dear list,

  I have the following example, from which I am hoping to retrieve  
numeric values of the factor levels (that is, without the brackets):

>
> x <- seq(1, 15, length=100)
> y <- sin(x)
>
> my.cuts <- cut(which(abs(y) < 1e-1), 3)
> levels(my.cuts)

hist() does not suit me for this, as it does not necessarily respect  
the number of breaks.

getAnywhere hasn't got me very far: I cannot seem to find a readable  
code for the built-in cut function in the base library. I think  
getMethod should do it but I don't understand the arguments to pass.

Any pointers appreciated,

Thanks,

baptiste
