sliceTo
Return a read-only truncated view of an input ndarray.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-slice-to
Usage
var sliceTo = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-slice-to' );
sliceTo( x, ...stop[, options] )
Returns a read-only truncated view of an input ndarray.
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 = sliceTo( x, 2, null );
// 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.
- stop: an array of ending indices (exclusive) or ending indices (exclusive) as separate arguments. Each index must be either
null
,undefined
, or an integer. A value ofnull
orundefined
indicates to include all elements along a corresponding dimension. A negative integer indicates to resolve an ending index relative to the last element along a corresponding dimension, with the last element having index-1
. - options: function options.
The function supports two (mutually exclusive) means for providing index arguments:
- providing a single array of index arguments.
- providing index arguments as separate arguments.
The following example demonstrates each invocation style returning equivalent results.
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 ] ]
// 1. Using an array of index arguments:
var y = sliceTo( x, [ 2, null ] );
// returns <ndarray>
sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 2, 2 ]
arr = ndarray2array( y );
// returns [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ]
// 2. Providing separate arguments:
y = sliceTo( x, 2, null );
// returns <ndarray>
sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 2, 2 ]
arr = ndarray2array( y );
// returns [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ]
The function supports the following options
:
- strict: boolean indicating whether to enforce strict bounds checking.
By default, the function throws an error when provided an index argument which exceeds array bounds. To return an empty array when an index exceeds array bounds, set the strict
option to false
.
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 = sliceTo( x, 2, -20, {
'strict': false
});
// returns <ndarray>
sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 2, 0 ]
arr = ndarray2array( y );
// returns []
Notes
- An index argument must be either an integer,
null
, orundefined
. - The number of indices must match the number of array dimensions. Hence, if
x
is a zero-dimensional ndarray, then, ifstop
is an array,stop
should not contain any index arguments. Similarly, ifx
is a one-dimensional ndarray, then, ifstop
is an array,stop
should contain a single index argument. And so on and so forth.
Examples
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var sliceTo = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-slice-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 = sliceTo( x, null, 2, null );
// 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 two rows and columns of each matrix:
var y2 = sliceTo( x, null, 2, 2 );
// returns <ndarray>
var a2 = ndarray2array( y2 );
// returns [ [ [ 0, 1 ], [ 3, 4 ] ], [ [ 9, 10 ], [ 12, 13 ] ], [ [ 18, 19 ], [ 21, 22 ] ] ]
// Get the first two 2x2 matrices:
var y3 = sliceTo( x, 2, 2, 2 );
// returns <ndarray>
var a3 = ndarray2array( y3 );
// returns [ [ [ 0, 1 ], [ 3, 4 ] ], [ [ 9, 10 ], [ 12, 13 ] ] ]
