There's more…

You can give a name to each dimension of an array using the optional argument dim names inside the array() function. For example, take a look at the following code snippet:

    column.names <- c("COL1","COL2")
    row.names <- c("ROW1","ROW2")
    matrix.names <- c("m1","m2", "m3", "m4")
    arrayB <- array(1:16, dim=c(2,2,4), dimnames =list(row.names,     
    column.names, matrix.names))

You can also easily change the layout of the array by simply changing the dimension as follows:

    dim(arrayA) <- c(2,4,2)
