[R] function to find coodinates in an array

[Moshe Olshansky]

A not very good solution is as below:

If your array's dimensions were KxMxN and the "linear"
index is i then
n <- ceiling(i/(K*M))
i1 <- i - (n-1)*(K*M)
m <- ceiling(i1/K)
k <- i1 - (m-1)*K

and your index is (k,m,n)

I am almost sure that there is a function in R which
does this (it exists in Matlab).

Regards,

Moshe.
