[Users] splitting grid ARRAY along given direction only

[Peter Diener]

Hi Roland,

I had a need for a similar thing some time ago. I had a 2D array that I 
only wanted to split in one direction. The workaround that I used was to 
declare this as a vector of 1D arrays. However, a more general 
implementation, where you can specify it in the interface.ccl would be 
good to have.

I'm just mentioning this option, if you want something to work quickly, 
while the more general implementation is being implemented.

Cheers,

   Peter
