Hello I have a vector gd of 279 values of diameter of limpets. Using 'hist(gd, breaks=seq(10,60,5),plot=F)' I can obtain a vector of 10 centers of size-class ($mids). But I'd like to work on a vector of 279 values being the mids (centers of size-classes) corresponding to the respective 279 values in gd. I looked in the different manuals and in archives of list but didn't find how to obtain such a vector... I looked around in the manual of functions such as levels, density, ... but didn't find a simple solution, which may exists I believe. thanks so much for taking time to answer this (naive/newbie) question.

cut will give you a factor identifying the class for each point, and if you have a vector of midpoints just index it by the factor.

I use the following custom function for such a result : midpoint <- function(x, dx) { y <- (round((x-dx/2)/dx))*dx+dx/2 y } It gives the corresponding midpoints of your data, based on equally spaced classes (width = dx) starting at the origin of the x axis. Hope this helped, Y.
