table.putcolslice - Function

3.2.1 put a slice into a specific column

Description

In blc and trc, -1 can be used to indicate all values for a dimension (-1 in blc is equivalent to 0, so -1 is especially useful for trc). Note that blc and trc should not contain the row number, only the blc and trc of the arrays in the column.
