[FORGED] Modifying the length of a matrix variable

Yes, I reproduced the example above and it works just fine (and is what I want!!), but I cannot see why it does not work with my data, as it is a 3-dimensional array (latitude, longitude and time).?
This is what comes from print(Model4):
3 variables (excluding dimension variables):
        double onedaymax[lon,lat,time]   (Contiguous storage)  
            units: mm/day
        double fivedaymax[lon,lat,time]   (Contiguous storage)  
            units: mm/day
        short Year[time]   (Contiguous storage)  

     3 dimensions:
        time  Size:95
        lat  Size:64
            units: degree North
        lon  Size:128
            units: degree East
I reviewed it over and over again, but I cannot see why this would not work?
Thanks,?

Hi Rolf (and others),

I tried your suggestion, but when I used dim(Model4.chopped), it still 
shows 95 layers, as shown below:

8192 ?? 95

I also find that the total number of cells is rather low for that many 
layers. I started with 778240 cells over 95 layers.

Well then you're doing something wrong, or there is something that you 
haven't told us.

E.g.:

junk <- array(runif(64*128*95),dim=c(64,128,95))
junk.chopped <- junk[,,1:90]
dim(junk)
[1]? 64 128? 95
dim(junk.chopped)
[1]? 64 128? 90

Perhaps Model.4 has some structure other than that of an array. 
(Originally you said it was a matrix.)

You really need to get your terminology and ideas *clear* in order to 
have any hope of receiving useful advice.

I have no idea what you are on about in respect of "the number of 
cells".? My mind-reading machine is in the repair shop.? I strongly 
suspect that your thoughts are confused.

cheers,

Rolf
