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.
Pixels outside the domain of x are assigned the value NA;
  if drop=TRUE (the default) such NA values are deleted
  from the result; if drop=FALSE, then NA values are retained.
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.
