Examples

x <- matrix(1:27, ncol=3)

y <- rowCollapse(x, 1)
stopifnot(identical(y, x[,1]))

y <- rowCollapse(x, 2)
stopifnot(identical(y, x[,2]))

y <- rowCollapse(x, c(1,1,1,1,1,3,3,3,3))
stopifnot(identical(y, c(x[1:5,1], x[6:9,3])))

y <- rowCollapse(x, 1:3)
print(y)
yT <- c(x[1,1],x[2,2],x[3,3],x[4,1],x[5,2],x[6,3],x[7,1],x[8,2],x[9,3])
stopifnot(identical(y, yT))
