[R-sig-Geo] Question about under/over/between arguments in library(classInt)

[Christopher T. Moore]

Greetings,

Has anyone else noticed a change in the behavior of the under/over/between 
arguments in the classInt package?

I utilized those arguments with classInt_0.1-9, but I haven't had any 
success with subsequent versions. I read the old and new help guides but 
couldn't see a change to the way those arguments must be submitted to the 
classIntervals() and findColours() functions. Perhaps I've overlooked a 
change?

In the meantime, I have gone back to using classInt_0.1-9. Below is a 
reproducible example.

Please let me know if you have any insights that would allow me to use the 
under/over/between legend arguments with the most recent version. Thanks.

Regards,
Chris
