This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/ndarray-base-slice-dimension-to) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

sliceDimensionTo

Return a truncated view of an input ndarray along a specified dimension.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-slice-dimension-to

Usage

var sliceDimensionTo = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-slice-dimension-to' );

sliceDimensionTo( x, dim, stop, strict, writable )

Returns a truncated view of an input ndarray along a specified dimension.

var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-ctor' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );

var buffer = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var shape = [ 3, 2 ];
var strides = [ 2, 1 ];
var offset = 0;

var x = ndarray( 'generic', buffer, shape, strides, offset, 'row-major' );
// returns <ndarray>

var sh = x.shape;
// returns [ 3, 2 ]

var arr = ndarray2array( x );
// returns [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ 3.0, 4.0 ], [ 5.0, 6.0 ] ]

var y = sliceDimensionTo( x, 0, 2, false, false );
// returns <ndarray>

sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 2, 2 ]

arr = ndarray2array( y );
// returns [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ]

The function accepts the following arguments:

x: input ndarray.
dim: index of dimension along which to slice. If provided an integer less than zero, the dimension index is resolved relative to the last dimension, with the last dimension corresponding to the value -1.
stop: ending index (exclusive). If provided an integer less than zero, the corresponding element along the specified dimension is resolved relative to the last element along that dimension. For negative integers, the last element corresponds to the value -1.
strict: boolean indicating whether to enforce strict bounds checking.
writable: boolean indicating whether a returned ndarray should be writable.

Notes

The writable parameter only applies to ndarray constructors supporting read-only instances.

Examples

var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var sliceDimensionTo = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-slice-dimension-to' );

// Create a linear ndarray buffer:
var buf = zeroTo( 27 );

// Create an ndarray:
var x = array( buf, {
    'shape': [ 3, 3, 3 ]
});

// Get the first two rows of each matrix:
var y1 = sliceDimensionTo( x, 1, 2, false, false );
// returns <ndarray>

var a1 = ndarray2array( y1 );
// returns [ [ [ 0, 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4, 5 ] ], [ [ 9, 10, 11 ], [ 12, 13, 14 ] ], [ [ 18, 19, 20 ], [ 21, 22, 23 ] ] ]

// Get the first columns of each matrix:
var y2 = sliceDimensionTo( x, 2, 2, false, false );
// returns <ndarray>

var a2 = ndarray2array( y2 );
// returns [ [ [ 0, 1 ], [ 3, 4 ], [ 6, 7 ] ], [ [ 9, 10 ], [ 12, 13 ], [ 15, 16 ] ], [ [ 18, 19 ], [ 21, 22 ], [ 24, 25 ] ] ]

// Get the first two matrices:
var y3 = sliceDimensionTo( x, 0, 2, false, false );
// returns <ndarray>

var a3 = ndarray2array( y3 );
// returns [ [ [ 0, 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4, 5 ], [ 6, 7, 8 ] ], [ [ 9, 10, 11 ], [ 12, 13, 14 ], [ 15, 16, 17 ] ] ]
