; extraction of subdomains of matrixes;
; Even if the subdomain is "pierced" (see the example)
; By default, IDL can make extractions of subdomain:

; a 1,2,3 or 4 dim input array
;
; @param index1 {in}{required}
; can have 2 forms:
; 1)a vector containing indexes of lines we want to keep
; 2)the string '*' if we want to keep all lines.
;
; @param index2 {in}{required}
; the same thing that index1 but for dim 2.

; @param index3 {in}{required}
; the same thing that index1 but for dim 3.

; the same thing that index1 but for dim 4.

; @returns
; a matrix 1,2,3 or 4d extract from input array

; @examples
; I have a dim 2 matrix named A. I want extract a small intersection
; matrix 2d of the line 2,3 and 7 and of the column 0 and 1:
