Raw Normal View History

.. highlight:: c
matrix and matrix_view
============================
matrix and matrix_view :
* are the class for matrix and the corresponding view.
* allow **custom memory ordering** (C or Fortran) at compile time.
* model the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept.
Template parameters
----------------------------
* The classes have two template parameters.
.. code-block:: c
template <typename ValueType, typename Opt = Option::Default> class matrix_view;
template <typename ValueType, typename Opt = Option::Default> class matrix;
============================ ================================== ========================== ====================================================================
Template parameter Accepted type Access in the class Meaning
============================ ================================== ========================== ====================================================================
ValueType normally a scalar, but any default value_type The type of the element of the array
constructible type (?).
Opt Option::options< ...> opt_type Compile time options, see below.
============================ ================================== ========================== ====================================================================
Options template parameters are described :ref:`here <option_template>`.
The memory order must obviously be only C or Fortran (memory_order is fine, but useless here...).

Constructors
-----------------
Intentionally, matrix and matrix_view have only a few constructors :
========================================== ===========================================================================================
Constructors of matrix Comments
========================================== ===========================================================================================
matrix() - empty matrix of size 0
matrix(size_t, size_t) - from the dimensions. Does NOT initialize the elements of matrix to 0 !
matrix(const matrix &) - copy construction
matrix (PyObject * X) - Construct a new matrix from the data of the Python object X.
NB : X is a borrowed reference, matrix does affect its counting reference.
- it takes a **copy** of the data of X (or of numpy(X)) into C++.
- X is first transformed into a numpy by the python numpy lib itself
(as if you call numpy.array(X)) if X is not a numpy array or an array of the wrong type
(e.g. you construct an matrix<double> from a numpy of int....).
matrix(const T & X) - Type T models the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept.
- X must have the appropriate domain dimension (checked at compile time).
- Constructs a new matrix of domain X.domain() and fills it with evaluation of X.
========================================== ===========================================================================================
* Examples ::
matrix<double> Mc(2,2);
matrix<double,Option::Fortran> Mf(2,2);
.. warning::
The constructor from the dimensions does **NOT** initialize the matrix to 0
(because it may not be optimal).
If needed, do it explicitely by `a()=0`;
Constructors of matrix_views
----------------------------------------------
Automatic construction
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
matrix_view are normally automatically constructed by making (partial) views, ref:`Slicing`, e.g. ::
matrix<int> A(2,2);
A(range(),2) ; // --> this makes a view...
A() ; // --> this makes a view over the full array
Explicit construction
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To explicitly make a view of an matrix, use make_view or () ::
matrix<int> A(2,2);
make_view(A) //-> a view...
make_view(A) = 13 ; // to assign e.g.
A() = 13; // idem
====================================================================== ===========================================================================================================
Constructors of matrix_view Comments
====================================================================== ===========================================================================================================
matrix_view(const matrix_view &) - Copy construction (shallow copy)
matrix_view(const T & X) - `[Advanced]` T is any type such that X.indexmap() and X.storage() can be used to construct a view.
