a2ld

<code>a2ld</code> converts a 3D array to a list of data.frames. This is a simple call
to <code>a2lm</code> followed by <code>m2d</code>. The default is to convert the third
dimension to the list dimension.

Offers a suite of functions for converting to and from
(atomic) vectors, matrices, data.frames, and (3D+) arrays as well
as lists of these objects. It is an alternative to the base R
as.<str>.<method>() functions (e.g., as.data.frame.array()) that
provides more useful and/or flexible restructuring of R objects.
To do so, it only works with common structuring of R objects (e.g.,
data.frames with only atomic vector columns).

a2ld function

<dl><dt>a</dt>
<dd>3D array.</dd>
<dt>along</dt>
<dd>integer vector of length 1 specifying the dimension to slice the array
along. This dimension is converted to the list dimension. 1 = rows; 2 = columns;
3 = layers.</dd>
<dt>stringsAsFactors</dt>
<dd>logical vector of length 1 specifying whether character
vectors should be converted to factors. Note, that if the array is character
and <code>stringsAsFactors</code> = TRUE, then all columns in the returned list of
data.frames will be factors.</dd>
<dt>check</dt>
<dd>logical vector of length 1 specifying whether to check the structure
of the input arguments. For example, check whether <code>a</code> is a 3D array.
This argument is available to allow flexibility in whether the user values
informative error messages (TRUE) vs. computational efficiency (FALSE).</dd></dl>
