Roger,

The core of the existing classification logic is msGetClass() in mapraster.c.
Also if you search on "classified" in mapdrawgdal.c you will see most
of the places it gets used.

I believe that ramp based gradients should be written up as an RFC.  There
was a previous effort which I think was partially implemented.  I would
suggest you dig up information on it, before going too far.
