listarrays (version 0.3.1)

set_dim: Reshape an array

Description

Pipe friendly dim<-(), with option to pad to necessary length. Also allows for filling the array using C style row-major semantics.

Usage

set_dim(
  x,
  new_dim,
  pad = getOption("listarrays.autopad_arrays_with", NULL),
  order = c("F", "C"),
  verbose = getOption("verbose")
)

Arguments

x

A vector or array to set dimensions on

new_dim

The desired dimensions (an integer(ish) vector)

pad

The value to pad the vector with. NULL (the default) performs no padding.

order

whether to use row-major (C) or column major (F) style semantics. The default, "F", corresponds to the default behavior of R's dim<-(), while "C" corresponds to the default behavior of reticulate::array_reshape(), numpy, reshaping semantics commonly encountered in the python world.

verbose

Whether to emit a message if padding. By default, FALSE.

Value

Object with dimensions set

Examples

# NOT RUN {
set_dim(1:10, c(2, 5))
try( set_dim(1:7, c(2, 5)) ) # error by default, just like `dim<-`()
     set_dim(1:7, c(2, 5), pad = 99)
     set_dim(1:7, c(2, 5), pad = 99, order = "C") # fills row-wise

y <- x <- 1:4
# base::dim<- fills the array column wise
dim(x) <- c(2, 2)
x

# dim2 will fill the array row-wise
dim2(y) <- c(2, 2)
y

identical(x, set_dim(1:4, c(2,2)))
identical(y, set_dim(1:4, c(2,2), order = "C"))

# }
# NOT RUN {
py_reshaped <- reticulate::array_reshape(1:4, c(2,2))
storage.mode(py_reshaped) <- "integer" # reticulate coerces to double
identical(y, py_reshaped)
# if needed, see listarrays:::array_reshape() for
# a drop-in pure R replacement for reticulate::array_reshape()
