[R] accessing arrays

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Or you could define it as your own class and define your own print and
other methods, e.g.

> X <- structure(array(1:8, c(2,2,2)), class = "twomats")
> attr(X, "DIMNAMES") <- list(list(c("No", "Yes"), c("No", "Yes")),
+    dimnames = list(c("No", "Yes"), c("big", "small")))
>
> print.twomats <- function(x, ...) {
+         Y <- list(X[,,1], X[,,2])
+ for(i in 1:2) {
+ dimnames(Y[[i]]) <- attr(x, "DIMNAMES")[[i]]
+ print(Y[[i]])
+ }
+ }
>
> X
    No Yes
No   1   3
Yes  2   4
    big small
No    5     7
Yes   6     8
