Assign a row from a 2D wave to a "beam" in a 3D wave

Hi,

Your assignment is creating a row (1d assignments), just in a way that is not easily seen in the table view. If you move between layers you see the single row of values in the third dimension.  This is a beam.  If you want to have a single row or column on each layer try this.  It actually creates a 2d assignment but with only a column row on each layer.  It is still 2d set of values.

Does this do what you want?

wave3d[0][][]=wave2d[q][r]

Two set of assignments.

This should work:

On the right-hand side of a wave assignment, p, q, r, s represent the currently-being-assigned row, column, layer and chunk on the left-hand side. So your RHS is iterating through layers of a beam, and to use that number you need r. 

Quick comment:

ImageTransform is an antediluvian operation. You should be able to set the various flags for ImageTransform in a function if you wrap them with parenthesis.  Here is an example:

Function test()
 
    Make/n=(10,20,30) ddd
    Make/n=30 eee=x
    Variable row=5,col=6
    ImageTransform /Beam={(row),(col)} /D=eee setbeam ddd
End

Thanks for all the promt replies.

...works for me. I think I missunderstood the role of p,q,r, and s on the right hand side.
