 Further Examples
This groups the elements of the original list in pairs; the last element is thrown away.
In[1]:=
|
Out[1]=
|
This makes triples of elements, with each successive triple offset by  elements.
In[2]:=
|
Out[2]=
|
Here the offset is  .
In[3]:=
|
Out[3]=

Define a  matrix.
In[4]:=
|
Out[4]//MatrixForm=
|
This partitions the matrix into blocks of size  . The extra elements that do not fit are thrown away; here these are the last row and last column.
In[5]:=
|
Out[5]//MatrixForm=
|
The  indicates an offset  at level  (the rows) and  at level  (the columns).
In[6]:=
|
Out[6]//MatrixForm=
|
Here the element a appears at position  of the  block and the element y appears at position  of the  block.
In[7]:=
|
Out[7]//MatrixForm=
|
This pads with  ,  , and  .
In[8]:=
|
Out[8]//MatrixForm=
|
Here is the direct way to make a cylinder using the package Shapes.
