Slicing
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
In this section, IM denotes some IndexMaps.
|
|
|
|
* We refer here to any partial view of the arrays as "slicing", i.e. subarrays, true slices, etc...
|
|
A slicing is any (meta)-function that take an indexmap and return another one.
|
|
|
|
* It is a meta-function that computes the type of the resulting indexmap
|
|
* It is a function that computes the resulting indexmap.
|
|
|
|
* The array/matrix/vector classes and their views, when called with the () operator, will :
|
|
|
|
* forward all the arguments and their types to IndexMaps::slice, to compute the new indexmap IM2.
|
|
* If IM2 is of dimension 0, return a value_type & or const & (it is a simple number, not an array).
|
|
* Otherwise : return a new view, made of IM2 and the same data as for the original object.
|
|
|
|
* Possible slices are defined by the IndexMap type.
|
|
Slicing an class C with IndexMap I1 produces a class C2_view, with IndexMap I2,
|
|
i.e. a new sliced IndexMap on the same data.
|
|
|
|
* **Examples** :
|
|
* array and array_view can be sliced :
|
|
``
|
|
array<T,2> A(10,10); : defines an array
|
|
A(1,2) : element access.
|
|
A ( 1, range(0,2) ) : 1d slice
|
|
A( range(0,10,2), range(0,10,2)) : a 2d slice viewing every each elements with even coordinates.
|
|
``
|
|
* matrix, matrix_view when sliced, return vector_view or matrix_view.
|
|
|
|
* One can be much more general : e.g. slicing the diagonal of a matrix, etc...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Implementation is entirely done in the IndexMaps classes, by specializing 2 templates
|
|
(basically by writing the function IM1-> IM2).
|
|
The rest is done by indexmap_storage_pair class, which will compute the correct view class
|
|
depending on the view class and IM2 (view_from_tag_I_S template).
