| 33 | +## Usage |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```javascript |
| 36 | +var flattenFromBy = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/flatten-from-by' ); |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +#### flattenFromBy( x, dim\[, options], fcn\[, thisArg] ) |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Flattens an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] according to a callback function starting from a specified dimension. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```javascript |
| 44 | +var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' ); |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +function scale( value ) { |
| 47 | + return value * 2.0; |
| 48 | +} |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 5.0, 6.0 ] ] ] ); |
| 51 | +// returns <ndarray> |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +var y = flattenFromBy( x, 1, scale ); |
| 54 | +// returns <ndarray>[ [ 2.0, 4.0 ], [ 6.0, 8.0 ], [ 10.0, 12.0 ] ] |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +The function accepts the following arguments: |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +- **x**: input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. Must have one or more dimensions. |
| 60 | +- **dim**: dimension to start flattening from. If provided an integer less than zero, the dimension index is resolved relative to the last dimension, with the last dimension corresponding to the value `-1`. |
| 61 | +- **options**: function options (_optional_). |
| 62 | +- **fcn**: callback function. |
| 63 | +- **thisArg**: callback execution context (_optional_). |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +The function accepts the following options: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +- **order**: order in which input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] elements should be flattened. Must be one of the following: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + - `'row-major'`: flatten elements in lexicographic order. For example, given a two-dimensional input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] (i.e., a matrix), flattening in lexicographic order means flattening the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] row-by-row. |
| 70 | + - `'column-major'`: flatten elements in colexicographic order. For example, given a two-dimensional input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] (i.e., a matrix), flattening in colexicographic order means flattening the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] column-by-column. |
| 71 | + - `'any'`: flatten according to the physical layout of the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] data in memory, regardless of the stated [order][@stdlib/ndarray/orders] of the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. |
| 72 | + - `'same'`: flatten according to the stated [order][@stdlib/ndarray/orders] of the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | + Default: `'row-major'`. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +- **dtype**: output ndarray [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]. By default, the function returns an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having the same [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes] as a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +By default, the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] is flattened in lexicographic order. To flatten elements in a different order, specify the `order` option. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +```javascript |
| 81 | +var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' ); |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +function scale( value ) { |
| 84 | + return value * 2.0; |
| 85 | +} |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 5.0, 6.0 ] ] ] ); |
| 88 | +// returns <ndarray> |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +var opts = { |
| 91 | + 'order': 'column-major' |
| 92 | +}; |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +var y = flattenFromBy( x, 0, opts, scale ); |
| 95 | +// returns <ndarray>[ 2.0, 6.0, 10.0, 4.0, 8.0, 12.0 ] |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +By default, the output ndarray [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes] is inferred from the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. To return an ndarray with a different [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes], specify the `dtype` option. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +```javascript |
| 101 | +var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' ); |
| 102 | +var dtype = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/dtype' ); |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +function scale( value ) { |
| 105 | + return value * 2.0; |
| 106 | +} |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 5.0, 6.0 ] ] ] ); |
| 109 | +// returns <ndarray> |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +var opts = { |
| 112 | + 'dtype': 'float32' |
| 113 | +}; |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +var y = flattenFromBy( x, 0, opts, scale ); |
| 116 | +// returns <ndarray>[ 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0 ] |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +var dt = String( dtype( y ) ); |
| 119 | +// returns 'float32' |
| 120 | +``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +To set the callback function execution context, provide a `thisArg`. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +<!-- eslint-disable no-invalid-this, max-len --> |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +```javascript |
| 127 | +var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' ); |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +function scale( value ) { |
| 130 | + this.count += 1; |
| 131 | + return value * 2.0; |
| 132 | +} |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 5.0, 6.0 ] ] ] ); |
| 135 | +// returns <ndarray> |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +var ctx = { |
| 138 | + 'count': 0 |
| 139 | +}; |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +var y = flattenFromBy( x, 1, scale, ctx ); |
| 142 | +// returns <ndarray>[ [ 2.0, 4.0 ], [ 6.0, 8.0 ], [ 10.0, 12.0 ] ] |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +var count = ctx.count; |
| 145 | +// returns 6 |

| 154 | +## Notes |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +- The function **always** returns a copy of input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] data, even when an input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] already has the desired number of dimensions. |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +- The callback function is provided the following arguments: |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | + - **value**: current array element. |
| 161 | + - **indices**: current array element indices. |
| 162 | + - **arr**: the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +- The order in which array elements are traversed and passed to a provided callback function is **not** guaranteed to match the order of array elements in an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] view. Accordingly, a provided callback should avoid making assumptions regarding the order of provided elements. |
