Convert a matrix to a 1 dimensional array

Question

I have a matrix (32X48).

How can I convert the matrix into a single dimensional array?

Answer 1

From ?matrix: "A matrix is the special case of a two-dimensional 'array'." You can simply change the dimensions of the matrix/array.

Elts_int <- as.matrix(tmp_int)  # read.table returns a data.frame as Brandon noted
dim(Elts_int) <- (maxrow_int*maxcol_int,1)
