#' \code{projMap2Cube} 
#' reshapes a data matrix from projective mapping
#' into a brick of data for a \code{distatis} analysis.
#' With \eqn{I} products, \eqn{J} variables, and
#' \eqn{K} blocks (assessors),
#' the original data can be 1) "flat" 
#' (e.g., \eqn{I} rows as products,
#' columns as \eqn{K} blocks of \eqn{J} Variables) 
#' or 2) "long"
#' "flat" (e.g., \eqn{K} blocks of 
#' \eqn{I} rows as products by assessors,
#' columns as \eqn{J} Variables).
#' 
#' @details the output \code{projMap2Cube} (i.e., the brick of data)
#' is used as input to the function \code{cubeOfCov} that will
#' create the cubeOfDistance (or covariance) that will be used
#' as input of \code{distatis}. 
#' \code{projMap2Cube} guesses the 
#' names of the products and variables from the
#' rownames and columns of the data, but this guess
#' needs to be verified. 
#'  
#' @param Data a data matrix that can be 
#' \eqn{I} rows by \eqn{J*K} columns (when \code{"flat"}) or
#' \eqn{I*K} rows by \eqn{J} columns when \code{"long"}. 
#' @param shape (Default: \code{flat} when \code{"flat"} the data 
#'  matrix has dimensions \eqn{I} rows by \eqn{J*K} columns;
#'  when \code{"long"} the data  matrix has dimensions
#'  \eqn{I*K} rows by \eqn{J} columns.
#' @param nVars Number of variables (default = 2),
#' relevant only when \code{shape = "flat"}.
#' @param nBlocks (Default = \code{NULL}) number
#' of Blocks (i.e., \eqn{K}) of \eqn{I} products.
#' Relevant only when    \code{shape = "long"}.
#' @return An \eqn{I} by \eqn{J} by \eqn{K} array (i.e., a brick)
#' to be used to create a cube of distance or covariance.
#' @examples 
#' # Use the data from the BeersProjectiveMapping dataset
#' data("BeersProjectiveMapping")
#' # Create the I*J_k*K brick of data
#' dataBrick <- projMap2Cube(BeersProjectiveMapping$ProjectiveMapping, 
#'                         shape = 'flat',  nVars = 2)
