ndarray: How to split an array?

Looking for the functionality of the .split_of function as used with a Vec (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#method.split_off)

Currently I am trying to use the function split_at: (docs: https://docs.rs/ndarray/0.13.1/ndarray/struct.ArrayBase.html#method.split_at)

Usage:

let mut data: Array2<f32> = array![[1.,2.],[3.,4.],[5.,6.],[7.,8.]];
let split = data.split_at(Axis(0),1);

Getting the error:

method not found in `ndarray::ArrayBase<ndarray::data_repr::OwnedRepr<{float}>, ndarray::dimension::dim::Dim<[usize; 2]>>`

What am I missing here?

According to the documentation, these are defined only for ArrayViews and not Arrays.

It's unfortunate that this is stated right above split_at in the documentation, making it easy to miss if you simply click on it from the sidebar of methods.

Methods for read-only array views.

similarly for read-write views.

Initializing a view and splitting it as shown in split_at's documentation should work fine.
