Let's suppose I have:



#version 3.7;
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1.0}


#declare Scalar = array [5] {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
#declare Vector = array [5] {<0, 0, 0>, <1, 1, 1>, <2, 2, 2>, <3, 3, 3>, <4, 4,
4>}
#declare String = array [5] {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E"}

#declare BigArray = array [3] {Scalar, Vector, String}



How do I access one of the values in the sub-arrays through BigArray / in a
single step ?
It doesn't appear that there's a sensible syntax for that.

#declare Var1 = BigArray[0];
would only make Var1 the whole scalar array, and it's only a 1-dimensional array
of 3 other arrays, so I can't use two bracketed values...

ARRAY_IDENTIFIER[N] returns an element of an array, but it also qualifies as an
identifier itself; so if that element happens to be an array as well, it also
qualifies as an array identifier. So to access an element of /that/, you can
simply prepend another set of brackets.

For instance, `BigArray[2][3]` should work fine, returning "D".
