Add array slices to 3D+ Array abind<- adds array slices to arrays as a side effect. It used the function abind in the abind package. The purpose of the function is to replace the need to use ary2 <- abind(ary1, mat1); ary3 <- rbind(ary2, mat2); ary4 <- rbind(ary3, mat3), etc. It allows you to specify the dimension you wish to bind along as well as the dimname you wish to bind after. Unlike cbind<-, rbind<-, and append<-, it does not have overwriting functionality (I could not figure out how to code that); therefore, if value has some dimnames that are the same as those in a, it will NOT overwrite them and simply bind them to a, resulting in duplicate dimnames.
