as.array3: Reshape a vector or array to have 3 dimensions.

Description

Coerce a vector or array to have 3 dimensions, preserving dimnames if feasible. Throw an error if length(dim(x)) > 3.

Usage

as.array3(x)

Value

A 3-dimensional array with names matching x

Arguments

x

A vector or array.

Author

Spencer Graves

Details

1. dimx <- dim(x); ndim <- length(dimx)

2. if(ndim==3)return(x).

3. if(ndim>3)stop.

4. x2 <- as.matrix(x)

5. dim(x2) <- c(dim(x2), 1)

6. xnames <- dimnames(x)

7. if(is.list(xnames))dimnames(x2) <- list(xnames[[1]], xnames[[2]], NULL)
