DESCRIPTION ^

% -*- texinfo -*-
% @deftypefn {Function File} {} cut (@var{x}, @var{breaks})
% Create categorical data out of numerical or continuous data by
% cutting into intervals.
%
% If @var{breaks} is a scalar, the data is cut into that many
% equal-width intervals.  If @var{breaks} is a vector of break points,
% the category has @code{length (@var{breaks}) - 1} groups.
%
% The returned value is a vector of the same size as @var{x} telling
% which group each point in @var{x} belongs to.  Groups are labelled
% from 1 to the number of groups; points outside the range of
% @var{breaks} are labelled by @code{NaN}.
