CircularArrays.jl - Multi-dimensional arrays with fixed size and circular indexing

CircularArrays.jl is a small package adding the CircularArray type which can be backed by any AbstractArray. A CircularArray{T,N,A} is an AbstractArray{T,N} backed by a data array of type A. It has a fixed size and features circular indexing (periodic boundary conditions) across all dimensions: Indexing and assigning beyond its bounds in both directions is possible, as the end of the array is considered adjacent to its start. CircularArrays have the same axes as the underlying backing array, and iterators only iterate over these indices.

The CircularVector{T} type is added as an alias for CircularArray{T, 1}.

The following constructors are provided.

# Initialize a CircularArray backed by any AbstractArray.
CircularArray(arr::AbstractArray{T, N}) where {T, N}
# Initialize a CircularArray with default values and the specified dimensions.
CircularArray(initialValue::T, dims...) where T
# Alternative functions for one-dimensional circular arrays.
CircularVector(arr::AbstractArray{T, 1}) where T
CircularVector(initialValue::T, size::Int) where T
