Re: [Rd] [R] large files produced from image plots?

Re: [Rd] winbuilder warnings and errors

[Rd] Drop single-dimensional array

Hi Simon, thank you for the concise reply. Do you mean the reported behavior of drop() is not a bug? It looks like a borderline bug to me (see below), but I'm not the judge of that. If this is the intended behavior and serves an actual purpose, then that could be explicitly documented in a \no
