Thank you Greg I will likely go with a list of data frames as each data frame will represent independent entities and as the syntax will probably be better that way. I did find it puzzling that multidimensional data frame or the ability to hold a vector in a cell of a data frame was not added in

If all your data is numeric then you can use an array instead of a data frame and arrays can easily be 3, 4, or higher dimensional. Or you can use a data frame with a column each for x, y, z, and time; with possible other columns representing groups or other attributes, essentially a 3 dimensional

Dear all, I have a problem where I must represent points with XYZ coordinates changing over time. I will do a number of operations on this data such as calculating the YZ-projection distance of the points to the origin over time, the frequency spectrum of the X-T data etc. I am trying to find a go
