+#' Split an array into list by a given array dimension
+#'
+#'@description This function splits an array into a list as required by PlotLayout function from package "s2dv" when parameter 'special_args' is used. The function ArrayToList allows to add names to the elements of the list in two different levels, the 'list' or the 'sublist'.
+#'
+#'@param data A multidimensional array.
+#'@param dim A character string indicating the name of the dimension to split or an integer indicating the position of the dimension.
+#'@param level A string character 'list' or 'sublist' indicating if it should be a list or a sublist. By default it creates a list.
+#'@param names A vector of character strings to name the list (if it is a single string, it would be reused) or a single character string to name the elements in the sublist. 
+#'
+#'@return A list of arrays of the length of the dimension set in parameter 'dim'.
+#'
+#'@examples
+#'data <- array(1:240, c(month = 12, member = 5, time = 4))
+#'# Create a list:
+#'datalist <- ArrayToList(data, dim = 'month', level = 'list', names = month.name)
