How to show the color ramp legend with discrete data in spplot ?

Hello,

I'll see how I can integrate this with spplot.

Perhaps the approach of the figure 5.6 of the "Lattice" book can be more
easily integrated in the spplot method:
http://lmdvr.r-forge.r-project.org/figures/figures.html?chapter=05;figure=05_06;theme=stdBW;code=right
It uses xyplot and displays the legend with draw.key.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I committed this to sp; in particular with sp from svn on r-forge one
can now e.g. do

loadMeuse()
spplot(meuse[c("lead", "zinc")], edge.col=1, colorkey=TRUE,
cuts=c(10,100,200,500,1000,2000))

edge.col = 1 results in black lines around the symbols,
colorkey = TRUE results in levelplot-type legend, instead the one with
the symbols; the default nr of colors used will also be large (100).

Comments welcome,
