[R-sig-Geo] stplot - legend/classes of categorical vairable

[richard.redweik at posteo.de]

Hello,

I have an object of class STFDF named 'fdf'. I want to create a stplot 
in which the categorical variable crop_id resp. crop_short is visualized 
per year.

Currently I am only able to assign a color/legend entry to a range of 
crop_ids, e.g. green --> [1, 2], yellow --> (2, 3]:

> col <- brewer.pal(8, "Accent")
> color <- colorRampPalette(col)(18)
> stplot(fdf[,, "crop_id"], col.regions=color, cuts=18)

However, this does mean, that the crop_ids 1 and 2 are assigned to 
green.
When changing the cuts parameter to cuts=19, I get an unambigious but 
not very readable assignment, e.g. green --> [1, 1.947], yellow --> 
(1.947, 2.895].

Now I am wondering, what is the best way to get one class resp. legend 
entry per crop_id, e.g. green --> 1, yellow --> 2 etc.

Does someone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Richard
