I am very interested. In the aim of getting my department to slowly move
towards free software solutions, a cartography solution is one of the main
issues. And data classification is an important element in that. It would
actually be ideal to have an automatic "natural breaks" classification
available in addition to the current uniform distribution and quantiles.
When you said:

does that mean that these markers are set automatically at the beginning ?
How do you define these breaks ?
