COMPRESSI_BY (var, mask), Compress data according to a mask

Likewise COMPRESSJ_BY, COMPRESSK_BY, COMPRESSL_BY, COMPRESSM_BY, COMPRESSN_BY compress data on the given axis according to a mask; returning data on an abstract axis in each direction.

Arguments:

VAR

Variable to compress according to MASK
 

MASK

mask to use in compressing the data

Result Axes:

X

Abstract
 

Y

Inherited from VAR and MASK
 

Z

Inherited from VAR and MASK
 

T

Inherited from VAR and MASK
 

E

Inherited from VAR and MASK
 

F

Inherited from VAR and MASK

Compress variable "dat" along its I axis using the (multi-dimensional) mask supplied in the second argument.

For example: 

yes? LET mask = {1,,1,,1} + 0*L[l=101:102] + 0*K[k=10:11] 
yes? LIST mask
 {1,,1,,1} + 0*L[L=101:102] + 0*K[K=10:11]
