## colByValue

### Description

Given a set of values, return a color for each of them based on their numeric value.

### Usage

    colByValue(value, colors, min=NULL, max=NULL)

### Arguments

`value` | A vector of numeric values
`colors` | (color) The colors to built the color ramp. Refer to `colorRamp` for more details.
`min` | (NULL or numeric) The min value used to normalize the values. If NULL, min(value) will be used. (defaults to NULL)
`max` | (NULL or numeric) The max value used to normalize the values. If NULL, max(value) will be used. (defaults to NULL)

### Details

A color ramp (similar to a gradient) will be built using the colors in the 'colors' parameter using `colorRamp`. Values will be normalized to [0,1] using 'min' and 'max' (if NULL, min(value) will be 0 and max(value) will be 1) and these values will be used to determine the color. It uses

### Value

A vector of colors

### Note

Alpha values (transparency) are also used in the color computation (see examples)
