Given two arrays a and b with
length(dim(a))==length(dim(b)), return a matrix with
dimensions pmax(dim(a),dim(b)) where “overlap”
elements are a+b, and the other elements are either 0, a, or
b according to location. See details section.
Usage
aplus(...)
Arguments
...
numeric or complex arrays

Details
The function takes any number of arguments (the binary operation is
associative).
The operation of aplus() is understandable by examining the
following pseudocode:
outa <- array(0,pmax(a,b))
outb <- array(0,pmax(a,b))
outa[1:dim(a)] <- a
outb[1:dim(a)] <- b
return(outa+outb)
See how outa and outb are the correct size and the
appropriate elements of each are populated with a and b
respectively. Then the sum is returned.
