# std.experimental.ndslice.selection

This is a submodule of std.experimental.ndslice.

Selectors create new views and iteration patterns over the same data, without copying.

## Subspace selectors

Subspace selectors serve to generalize and combine other selectors easily. For a slice of Slice!(N, Range) type slice.pack!K creates a slice of slices of Slice!(N-K, Slice!(K+1, Range)) type by packing the last K dimensions of the top dimension pack, and the type of element of slice.byElement is Slice!(K, Range). Another way to use pack is transposition of dimension packs using evertPack. Examples of use of subspace selectors are available for selectors, Slice.shape , and Slice.elementsCount .

Function Name | Description
--- | ---
pack | returns slice of slices
unpack | merges all dimension packs
evertPack | reverses dimension packs

## Selectors

Function Name | Description
--- | ---
byElement | a random access range of all elements with index property
byElementInStandardSimplex | an input range of all elements in standard simplex of hypercube with index property. If the slice has two dimensions, it is a range of all elements of upper left triangular matrix.
indexSlice | returns a slice with elements equal to the initial index
reshape | returns a new slice for the same data
diagonal | 1-dimensional slice composed of diagonal elements
blocks | n-dimensional slice composed of n-dimensional non-overlapping blocks. If the slice has two dimensions, it is a block matrix.
windows | n-dimensional slice of n-dimensional overlapping windows. If the slice has two dimensions, it is a sliding window.

template pack(K...)
  Creates a packed slice, i.e. slice of slices. The function does not carry out any calculations, it simply returns the same binary data presented differently.
  Parameters:

  K | sizes of dimension packs

  Returns:
  pack!K returns Slice!(N-K, Slice!(K+1, Range)); slice.pack!(K1, K2, ..., Kn) is the same as slice.pacKed!K1.pacKed!K2. ... pacKed!Kn.
  Examples:

      import std.experimental.ndslice.slice;
      import std.range.primitives: ElementType;
      import std.range: iota;
      import std.algorithm.comparison: equal;
      auto r = (3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 * 8 * 9 * 10 * 11).iota;
      auto a = r.sliced(3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11);
      auto b = a.pack!(2, 3); // same as `a.pack!2.pack!3`
      auto c = b[1, 2, 3, 4];
      auto d = c[5, 6, 7];
      auto e = d[8, 9];
      auto g = a[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];

  random access range composed of elements of the slice

      import std.experimental.ndslice.slice;
      auto slice = new long[20].sliced(5, 4);

      for(auto elems = slice.byElement; !elems.empty; elems.popFront)
      {
          size_t[2] index = elems.index;
          elems.front = index[0] * 10 + index[1] * 3;
      }
      assert(slice ==
          [[ 0,  3,  6,  9],

           [30, 33, 36, 39],
           [40, 43, 46, 49]]);

  Examples:
  Random access and slicing

      import std.experimental.ndslice.slice;
      import std.algorithm.comparison: equal;
      import std.array: array;
      import std.range: iota, repeat;
      static data = 20.iota.array;
      auto elems = data.sliced(4, 5).byElement;

      elems = elems[11 .. $ - 2];

      assert(elems.length == 7);
      assert(elems.front == 11);
      assert(elems.back == 17);

      foreach (i; 0 .. 7)
          assert(elems[i] == i + 11);

      // assign an element
      elems[2 .. 6] = -1;
      assert(elems[2 .. 6].equal(repeat(-1, 4)));

      // assign an array
      static ar = [-1, -2, -3, -4];
      elems[2 .. 6] = ar;
      assert(elems[2 .. 6].equal(ar));

      // assign a slice
      ar[] *= 2;
      auto sl = ar.sliced(ar.length);
      elems[2 .. 6] = sl;
      assert(elems[2 .. 6].equal(sl));

  Examples:
  Forward access works faster than random access or backward access. Use allReversed in pipeline before byElement to achieve fast backward access.

      import std.range: retro, iota;
      import std.experimental.ndslice.iteration: allReversed;

      auto slice = 60.iota.sliced(3, 4, 5);

      /// Slow backward iteration #1
      foreach (ref e; slice.byElement.retro)
      {
          //...
      }

      /// Slow backward iteration #2
      foreach_reverse (ref e; slice.byElement)
      {
          //...
      }

      /// Fast backward iteration
      foreach (ref e; slice.allReversed.byElement)
      {
          //...
      }

auto byElementInStandardSimplex(size_t N, Range)(auto ref Slice!(N, Range) slice, size_t maxCobeLength = size_t.max);
  Returns an forward range of all elements of standard simplex of a slice. In case the slice has two dimensions, it is composed of elements of upper left triangular matrix. The order of elements is preserved. byElementInStandardSimplex can be generalized with other selectors.

  Slice!(N, Range) slice | slice to be iterated

  Returns:
  forward range composed of all elements of standard simplex of the slice
