VECTOR_DELETE

Download Flojoy Studio to try this app
The VECTOR_DELETE node returns a new Vector with elements deleted from requested indices Inputs ------ v : Vector The input vector to delete from Params: indices : Array specified indices to delete value(s) at from the input vector length : int number of elements to delete from the input vector, default is 1 (this only applies when one index is specified for indices parameter) Returns: out : Vector The new vector with element(s) deleted from the input vector

In this example, we generate a vector by using a LINSPACE node. Then starting from index 0, 2 elements are deleted using VECTOR_DELETE. The resulting vector is visualized with SCATTER node, and another node has been connected to LINSPACE for comparison.
