Does digit.curves require data in long on wide format? when i try to use it i get the error

  "  Error in digit.curves(2880, Rafalt1, nPoints = 30, closed=TRUE):

what is a p-x-k matrix. I have searched it on the internet and have come up with nothing.I have tried both long and wide format and have had the same result. any help is much appreciated.

I'm not going to go into the details of the specific function call. But p by x by k is normally called a (3D) array in R. It's like a "stack of matrices" on a third dimension. If you do a google search for "3D arrays R" (without quote), you'll find plenty of stuff to understand how it works, such as

I hope this helps.
