# NOTE: for all the examples, we are going to use the sample data.
#-----------------------------------------------------
# Example 1: Change dimension names with CST_ChangeDimNames
#-----------------------------------------------------
# With using this function, we can change the dimension names in all elements 
# of the 's2dv_cube' object:
# Example with sample data:
# Check original dimensions and coordinates
lonlat_temp$exp$dims
names(lonlat_temp$exp$coords)
dim(lonlat_temp$exp$attrs$Dates)
# Change 'dataset' to 'dat' and 'ftime' to 'time'
exp <- CST_ChangeDimNames(lonlat_temp$exp,
                          original_names = c("dataset", "ftime", "lon", "lat"),
                          new_names = c("dat", "time", "longitude", "latitude"))
# Check new dimensions and coordinates
exp$dims
names(exp$coords)
dim(exp$attrs$Dates)
#-----------------------------------------------------
# Example 2: Insert a new dimension with CST_InsertDim
#-----------------------------------------------------
# With this function, we can add a dimension into the 's2dv_cube'. 
# When the dimension that we want to add has lenght greater than 1, the 
# values of the data are repeated for that new dimension.

# Example with sample data:
# Check original dimensions and coordinates
lonlat_temp$exp$dims
names(lonlat_temp$exp$coords)
# Add 'variable' dimension
exp <- CST_InsertDim(lonlat_temp$exp,
                     posdim = 2,
                     lendim = 2,
                     name = "variable",
                     values = c("tas", "tos"))
# Check new dimensions and coordinates
exp$dims
exp$coords$variable
# We see that the values will be repeated along the new dimension:
exp$data[, , 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

#-----------------------------------------------------
# Example 3: Merge two dimensions with CST_MergeDims
#-----------------------------------------------------
# In this example, we will merge the dimensions corresponding to the latitude 
# and the longitude of the data. The new dimension will be named 'grid'.
new_data <- CST_MergeDims(lonlat_temp$exp, merge_dims = c('lat', 'lon'), 
                          rename_dim = 'grid')
dim(new_data$data)
# dataset  member   sdate   ftime    grid 
#       1      15       6       3    1166 
names(new_data$coords)
# [1] "dataset"  "member"  "sdate"   "ftime"   "grid"  
new_data
# NOTE: Be aware that when we print the object, we see that its name in 
# "Coordinates" field appears without the asterisk (*) at its left. This means 
# that the values of that coordinate, are indices, not the actual values. We 
# can also find this information with the attribute "indices": 
attributes(new_data$coords$grid)
# $indices
# [1] TRUE

# Now, we want to merge time dimensions start date and forecast time:
new_data <- CST_MergeDims(data = lonlat_temp_st$exp, merge_dims = c('sdate', 'ftime'))
# In this case, the Dates dimensions will be merged too.
dim(new_data$attrs$Dates)
# sdate 
#    18 

# However, when we want to merge temporal and other dimensions nature, 
# the Dates dimensions are kept as the original. In this case, the function 
# returns a Warning Message, we must pay attention!
new_data <- CST_MergeDims(data = lonlat_temp$exp, 
                          merge_dims = c('lat', 'ftime'), 
                          rename_dim = 'newdim')

#-----------------------------------------------------
# Example 4: Split two dimensions with CST_SplitDim
#-----------------------------------------------------
# In this example, we will start working first with the function SplitDim, 
# that it can be used to split dimensions of an array. 

# NOTE: Take into account that time dimensions will be treated differently than 
#       other dimensions:

# Decadal example: We define an array of consecutive days of different years:
dates <- seq(as.Date("01-01-2000", "%d-%m-%Y", tz = 'UTC'),
             as.Date("31-12-2005","%d-%m-%Y", tz = 'UTC'), "day")
dim(dates) <- c(time = 2192)

# Now, we will split the array in a new 'year' dimension:
dates_year <- SplitDim(dates, indices = dates,
                       split_dim = 'time', freq = 'year')
# time year 
#  366    6 
# Now, we can try: freq = 'month' and 'day'
dates_month <- SplitDim(dates, indices = dates,
                        split_dim = 'time', freq = 'month')

dates_day <- SplitDim(dates, indices = dates,
                      split_dim = 'time', freq = 'day')
dates <- as.POSIXct(dates * 24 * 3600, origin = '1970-01-01', tz = 'UTC')

# In the following example, we will use the sample data of the package. We 
# will use lonlat_prec_st because it is daily data:

# NOTE: By Jan 2024, a development is needed regarding updates in other fields 
#       of the 's2dv_cube'
data_day <- CST_SplitDim(lonlat_prec_st, indices = lonlat_prec_st$attrs$Dates[1,],
                         split_dim = 'ftime', freq = 'day')
dim(data_day$data)
# dataset     var  member   sdate   ftime     lat     lon     day 
#       1       1       6       3       1       4       4      31 
data_month <- CST_SplitDim(lonlat_prec_st, indices = lonlat_prec_st$attrs$Dates[1,],
                           split_dim = 'ftime', freq = 'month')
dim(data_month$data)
# dataset     var  member   sdate   ftime     lat     lon   month 
#       1       1       6       3      31       4       4       1 
data_year <- CST_SplitDim(lonlat_prec_st, indices = lonlat_prec_st$attrs$Dates[,1],
                          split_dim = 'sdate', freq = 'year')
dim(data_year$data)
# dataset     var  member   sdate   ftime     lat     lon    year 
#       1       1       6       1      31       4       4       3
