This function is a method for the subset operator "[" for
pixel images on linear networks (objects of class "linim").
The pixel image x will be restricted to the
domain specified by i.
If i is a window (or a logical-valued pixel image)
then x[i] is another pixel image of class "linim",
representing the restriction of x to the spatial domain
specified by i.
If i is a point pattern, then x[i] is the vector of
pixel values of x at the locations specified by i.
Pixels outside the domain of x have value NA.
