About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

nditerSubarrays

Create an iterator which iterates over each subarray in a stack of subarrays.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-iter-subarrays

Alternatively,

• To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
• If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
• For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var nditerSubarrays = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-iter-subarrays' );

nditerSubarrays( x, ndims[, options] )

Returns an iterator which iterates over each subarray in a stack of subarrays.

var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );

var x = array( [ [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ], [ [ 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var iter = nditerSubarrays( x, 2 );

var v = iter.next().value;
// returns <ndarray>

var arr = ndarray2array( v );
// returns [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]

v = iter.next().value;
// returns <ndarray>

arr = ndarray2array( v );
// returns [ [ 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8 ] ]

// ...

The function accepts the following options:

• readonly: boolean indicating whether returned ndarray views should be read-only. In order to return writable ndarray views, the input ndarray must be writable. If the input ndarray is read-only, setting this option to false raises an exception. Default: true.

By default, the iterator returns ndarray views which are read-only. To return writable views, set the readonly option to false.

var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );

var x = array( [ [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ], [ [ 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var iter = nditerSubarrays( x, 2, {
    'readonly': false
});

var v = iter.next().value;
// returns <ndarray>

var arr = ndarray2array( v );
// returns [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]

v.set( 0, 0, 10 );

arr = ndarray2array( v );
// returns [ [ 10, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

• next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a value property and a done property having a boolean value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
• return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

Notes

• The input ndarray must have at least ndims+1 dimensions.
• If an environment supports Symbol.iterator, the returned iterator is iterable.
• A returned iterator does not copy a provided ndarray. To ensure iterable reproducibility, copy the input ndarray before creating an iterator. Otherwise, any changes to the contents of input ndarray will be reflected in the returned iterator.
• In environments supporting Symbol.iterator, the function explicitly does not invoke an ndarray's @@iterator method, regardless of whether this method is defined.

Examples

var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var nditerSubarrays = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-iter-subarrays' );

// Define an input array:
var x = array( zeroTo( 27 ), {
    'shape': [ 3, 3, 3 ]
});

// Create an iterator for iterating over matrices:
var it = nditerSubarrays( x, 2 );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( ndarray2array( v.value ) );
}
