hello folks [snip] but it is frustrating when base functionality only works with vectors, not matrices, or arrays. It would be more compelling if (e.g.) t and rev also had dimension arguments. Hadley -- well put! I would add, though, that t() generalizes to aperm(), and the magic

hello Hadley thanks for this... There are the flip operators of matlab, and rotating matrices/array by multiples of 90 degrees. arot() in the magic package does this (which is an operation frequently encountered in magic hypercubes) I'm always on the lookout for other array functionality
