drop {base} | R Documentation |
Delete the dimensions of an array which have only one level.
drop(x)
x |
an array (including a matrix). |
If x
is an object with a dim
attribute (e.g., a matrix
or array
), then drop
returns an object like
x
, but with any extents of length one removed. Any
accompanying dimnames
attribute is adjusted and returned with
x
: if the result is a vector the names
are taken from
the dimnames
(if any). If the result is a length-one vector,
the names are taken from the first dimension with a dimname.
Array subsetting ([
) performs this reduction unless used
with drop = FALSE
, but sometimes it is useful to invoke
drop
directly.
