\name{Dim}
\title{Extract Dimensions from an Object}
\usage{
Dim(object, \dots)
}
\alias{Dim}
\alias{Dim.default}
\arguments{
\item{object}{any object for which dimensions can be extracted.}
\item{\dots}{some methods for this generic function require additional
arguments.}
}
\description{
This function is generic; method functions can be written to handle
specific classes of objects. Classes which already have methods for
this function include: \code{corSpatial}, \code{corStruct},
\code{pdCompSymm}, \code{pdDiag}, \code{pdIdent}, \code{pdMat},
and \code{pdSymm}.
}
\value{
will depend on the method function used; see the appropriate documentation.
}

\note{
If \code{dim} allowed more than one argument, there would be no
need for this generic function.
