Views
==============================================================
**Synopsis**:
.. code-block:: c
template <typename ValueType, int Rank, ull_t OptionsFlags=0, ull_t TraversalOrder=0> class array_view;
template <typename ValueType, ull_t OptionsFlags=0, ull_t TraversalOrder=0> class matrix_view;
template <typename ValueType, ull_t OptionsFlags=0> class vector_view;
template <typename ValueType, int Rank, ull_t OptionsFlags=0, ull_t TraversalOrder=0> class array_const_view;
template <typename ValueType, ull_t OptionsFlags=0, ull_t TraversalOrder=0> class matrix_const_view;
template <typename ValueType, ull_t OptionsFlags=0> class vector_const_view;
where triqs::ull_t is the type defined by :
.. code-block:: c
typedef unsigned long long ull_t;
* The view types of X (= array, matrix, vector) are called X_view, and X_const_view, with the same template parameters as the regular type.
* A `view` is give access to a restricted portion of the array, matrix or vector, i.e. a `partial view` of the data.
The view can also be `complete` (i.e. show all the container).
* The views model the :ref:`MutableCuboidArray`, :ref:`MutableMatrix`, :ref:`MutableVector`, like the corresponding regular type.
* The const views are similar to view, except that theirs contents can not be modified.
They model the :ref:`ImmutableCuboidArray`, :ref:`ImmutableMatrix`, :ref:`ImmutableVector`, like the corresponding *const* regular type.
* Views have `view semantics`, i.e. their behave like a reference to the data, they are not regular type.
In particular, they never make copy of the data.
See :ref:`view_vs_regular` for a detailed discussion of the difference between a regular type and its corresponding view.
* Views are largely interoperable : it is easy and quick to take a matrix_view of an array, or vice versa.
Cf constructors belows.
* Const views can be constructed from a view, but the reverse is not true (Cf constructors).
* **Memory Management**
Views offers a strong guarantee of the existence of the data, like a std::shared_ptr.
Cf :ref:`arr_view_memory` for details.

----------------------------
+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Template parameter | Accepted type | Access in the class | Meaning |
+=========================================+===============================+===============================+======================================+
| ValueType | any regular type (typically a | value_type | The type of the element of the array |
| | scalar). | | |
+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Rank | int | rank | The rank of the array |
+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :ref:`OptionsFlags<arr_templ_par_opt>` | ull_t | opt_flags | Compile time options |
+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :ref:`TraversalOrder<arr_templ_par_to>` | ull_t | | Traversal Order for all loops |
+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
NB: Rank is only present for array, since matrix have rank 2 and vector rank 1.
