For subset, an object of class `mask' with only the requested
subset of rows and `type' attribute set to `subset'.
For rbind, an object of class `mask' with all unique rows from
the masks in …, and `type' attribute set to `rbind'.
Warning
The spacing attribute is carried over from the input (it is not updated
automatically). In the case of very sparse masks (i.e. those with
isolated points) this may lead to an unexpected value for this
attribute. (Automatic updating requires excessive computation time
and/or memory for very large masks).
Details
The subscripts in subset may be of type integer, character or
logical as described in Extract.
