[R] outer

[Erich Neuwirth]

i cannot cajole outer in doing what i want it to do.

i hav a function only defined for scalars
fun(n,k)

and i want to do

outer(1:5,1:5,function(x,y) fun(x,y))
(i know this is written somewhat clumsy)

to get an array with the values of fun
to use it as an input for image

this does not work since
outer assumes then fun works on arrays elementwise.

what is the easiest way of getting what i want?

outer in some lisp like variants and in mathematica will work with the
function argument being a
scalar argument only function.
r is different here.
