As does a vector and a matrix, an array groups similar pieces of data. The example starts with a two dimensional 2d array, uses the index array block to separate the array into two one dimensional arrays, one containing x and one containing y data and then bundles them into a cluster which is the expected input type of the xy graph function. Each one is represented by a different wire colors, and different functions are available to let you convert between data types. In a matrix, the two dimensions are represented by rows and columns.
