Description

Create a stripped matrix with non-uniform block sizes.

Usage

stripe_matrix(x = NULL, s = NULL, byrow = FALSE, dimnames = NULL)

Arguments

x

Vector of numbers to identify each stripe.

s

Vector of values for the size of the stripes, order depending on byrow

byrow

Logical value. If FALSE (the default) the stripes are filled by columns, otherwise the stripes in the matrix are filled by rows.

dimnames
