procedure

(array-transform arr ds proc)  (Array A)

  arr : (Array A)
  ds : In-Indexes
  proc : (Indexes -> In-Indexes)
Returns an array with shape ds and elements taken from arr, by composing arr’s procedure with proc.

Possibly the most useless, but simplest example of proc disregards its input indexes and returns constant indexes:
> (define arr (array #[#[0 1] #[2 'three]]))
> (array-transform arr #(3 3) (λ: ([js : Indexes]) #(1 1)))

- : #(struct:Array

      (Indexes Index (Boxof Boolean) (-> Void) (-> Indexes (U 'three Byte)))

   #[0 0 1 1 2 2]

   #[3 3 4 4 5 5]

   #[6 6 7 7 8 8]

   #[6 6 7 7 8 8]])

When array-strictness is #f, the above result takes little more space than the original array.

Almost all array transformations, including Slicing, are implemented using array-transform or its unsafe counterpart.

procedure

(array-append* arrs [k])  (Array A)

  arrs : (Listof (Array A))
  k : Integer = 0
Appends the arrays in arrs along axis k. If the arrays’ shapes are not the same, they are broadcast first.

Examples:
> (define arr (array #[#[0 1] #[2 3]]))
> (define brr (array #[#['a 'b] #['c 'd]]))
> (array-append* (list arr brr))

procedure

(array-axis-insert arr k [dk])  (Array A)

  arr : (Array A)
  k : Integer
  dk : Integer = 1
Inserts an axis of length dk before axis number k, which must be no greater than the dimension of arr.

Examples:

procedure

(array-axis-ref arr k jk)  (Array A)

  arr : (Array A)
  k : Integer
  jk : Integer
Removes an axis from arr by keeping only row jk in axis k, which must be less than the dimension of arr.

procedure

(array-axis-swap arr k0 k1)  (Array A)

  arr : (Array A)
  k0 : Integer
  k1 : Integer
Returns an array like arr, but with axes k0 and k1 swapped. In two dimensions, this is called a transpose.

procedure

(array-axis-permute arr perm)  (Array A)

  arr : (Array A)
  perm : (Listof Integer)
Returns an array like arr, but with axes permuted according to perm.

The list perm represents a mapping from source axis numbers to destination axis numbers: the source is the list position, the destination is the list element. For example, the permutation '(0 1 2) is the identity permutation for three-dimensional arrays, '(1 0) swaps axes 0 and 1, and '(3 1 2 0) swaps axes 0 and 3.

The permutation must contain each integer from 0 to (- (array-dims arr) 1) exactly once.

Examples:
> (array-axis-swap (array #[#[0 1] #[2 3]]) 0 1)

- : #(struct:Array

procedure

(array-reshape arr ds)  (Array A)

  arr : (Array A)
  ds : In-Indexes
