Description

Take a subset along an arbitrary dimension

Usage

take(x, along, indices, drop = FALSE)

should the dimensions of the array be simplified? Defaults to FALSE which is the opposite of the useful R default.

# NOT RUN {
x <- array(seq_len(3 * 4 * 5), c(3, 4, 5))
take(x, 3, 1)
take(x, 2, 1)
take(x, 1, 1)
take(x, 3, 1, drop = TRUE)
take(x, 2, 1, drop = TRUE)
take(x, 1, 1, drop = TRUE)
