Furthermore, the Array class provides an easy way to -perform coefficient-wise operations, which might not have a linear algebraic meaning, -such as adding a constant to every coefficient in the array or multiplying two arrays coefficient-wise. - - -\section TutorialArrayClassTypes Array types -Array is a class template taking the same template parameters as Matrix. -As with Matrix, the first three template parameters are mandatory: -\code -Array<typename Scalar, int RowsAtCompileTime, int ColsAtCompileTime> -\endcode -The last three template parameters are optional. Since this is exactly the same as for Matrix, -we won't explain it again here and just refer to \ref TutorialMatrixClass. - -Eigen also provides typedefs for some common cases, in a way that is similar to the Matrix typedefs -but with some slight differences, as the word "array" is used for both 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional arrays. -We adopt the convention that typedefs of the form ArrayNt stand for 1-dimensional arrays, where N and t are -the size and the scalar type, as in the Matrix typedefs explained on \ref TutorialMatrixClass "this page". For 2-dimensional arrays, we -use typedefs of the form ArrayNNt. Some examples are shown in the following table: - -<table class="manual"> - <tr> - <th>Type </th> - <th>Typedef </th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> \code Array<float,Dynamic,1> \endcode </td> - <td> \code ArrayXf \endcode </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> \code Array<float,3,1> \endcode </td> - <td> \code Array3f \endcode </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> \code Array<double,Dynamic,Dynamic> \endcode </td> - <td> \code ArrayXXd \endcode </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> \code Array<double,3,3> \endcode </td> - <td> \code Array33d \endcode </td> - </tr> -</table> - - -\section TutorialArrayClassAccess Accessing values inside an Array - -The parenthesis operator is overloaded to provide write and read access to the coefficients of an array, just as with matrices. -Furthermore, the \c << operator can be used to initialize arrays (via the comma initializer) or to print them. - -<table class="example"> -<tr><th>Example:</th><th>Output:</th></tr> -<tr><td> -\include Tutorial_ArrayClass_accessors.cpp -</td> -<td> -\verbinclude Tutorial_ArrayClass_accessors.out -</td></tr></table> - -For more information about the comma initializer, see \ref TutorialAdvancedInitialization. - - -\section TutorialArrayClassAddSub Addition and subtraction - -Adding and subtracting two arrays is the same as for matrices. -The operation is valid if both arrays have the same size, and the addition or subtraction is done coefficient-wise. - -Arrays also support expressions of the form <tt>array + scalar</tt> which add a scalar to each coefficient in the array. -This provides a functionality that is not directly available for Matrix objects. - -<table class="example"> -<tr><th>Example:</th><th>Output:</th></tr> -<tr><td> -\include Tutorial_ArrayClass_addition.cpp -</td> -<td> -\verbinclude Tutorial_ArrayClass_addition.out -</td></tr></table> - - -\section TutorialArrayClassMult Array multiplication - -First of all, of course you can multiply an array by a scalar, this works in the same way as matrices. Where arrays -are fundamentally different from matrices, is when you multiply two together. Matrices interpret -multiplication as matrix product and arrays interpret multiplication as coefficient-wise product. Thus, two -arrays can be multiplied if and only if they have the same dimensions. - -<table class="example"> -<tr><th>Example:</th><th>Output:</th></tr> -<tr><td> -\include Tutorial_ArrayClass_mult.cpp -</td> -<td> -\verbinclude Tutorial_ArrayClass_mult.out -</td></tr></table> - - -\section TutorialArrayClassCwiseOther Other coefficient-wise operations - -The Array class defines other coefficient-wise operations besides the addition, subtraction and multiplication -operators described above. For example, the \link ArrayBase::abs() .abs() \endlink method takes the absolute -value of each coefficient, while \link ArrayBase::sqrt() .sqrt() \endlink computes the square root of the -coefficients. If you have two arrays of the same size, you can call \link ArrayBase::min(const Eigen::ArrayBase<OtherDerived>&) const .min(.) \endlink to -construct the array whose coefficients are the minimum of the corresponding coefficients of the two given -arrays. These operations are illustrated in the following example. - -<table class="example"> -<tr><th>Example:</th><th>Output:</th></tr> -<tr><td> -\include Tutorial_ArrayClass_cwise_other.cpp -</td> -<td> -\verbinclude Tutorial_ArrayClass_cwise_other.out -</td></tr></table> - -More coefficient-wise operations can be found in the \ref QuickRefPage. - - -\section TutorialArrayClassConvert Converting between array and matrix expressions - -When should you use objects of the Matrix class and when should you use objects of the Array class? You cannot -apply Matrix operations on arrays, or Array operations on matrices. Thus, if you need to do linear algebraic -operations such as matrix multiplication, then you should use matrices; if you need to do coefficient-wise -operations, then you should use arrays. However, sometimes it is not that simple, but you need to use both -Matrix and Array operations. In that case, you need to convert a matrix to an array or reversely. This gives -access to all operations regardless of the choice of declaring objects as arrays or as matrices. - -\link MatrixBase Matrix expressions \endlink have an \link MatrixBase::array() .array() \endlink method that -'converts' them into \link ArrayBase array expressions\endlink, so that coefficient-wise operations -can be applied easily. Conversely, \link ArrayBase array expressions \endlink -have a \link ArrayBase::matrix() .matrix() \endlink method. As with all Eigen expression abstractions, -this doesn't have any runtime cost (provided that you let your compiler optimize). -Both \link MatrixBase::array() .array() \endlink and \link ArrayBase::matrix() .matrix() \endlink -can be used as rvalues and as lvalues. - -Mixing matrices and arrays in an expression is forbidden with Eigen. For instance, you cannot add a matrix and -array directly; the operands of a \c + operator should either both be matrices or both be arrays. However, -it is easy to convert from one to the other with \link MatrixBase::array() .array() \endlink and -\link ArrayBase::matrix() .matrix()\endlink. The exception to this rule is the assignment operator: it is -allowed to assign a matrix expression to an array variable, or to assign an array expression to a matrix -variable. - -The following example shows how to use array operations on a Matrix object by employing the -\link MatrixBase::array() .array() \endlink method. For example, the statement -<tt>result = m.array() * n.array()</tt> takes two matrices \c m and \c n, converts them both to an array, uses -* to multiply them coefficient-wise and assigns the result to the matrix variable \c result (this is legal -because Eigen allows assigning array expressions to matrix variables). - -As a matter of fact, this usage case is so common that Eigen provides a \link MatrixBase::cwiseProduct const -.cwiseProduct(.) \endlink method for matrices to compute the coefficient-wise product. This is also shown in -the example program. - -<table class="example"> -<tr><th>Example:</th><th>Output:</th></tr> -<tr><td> -\include Tutorial_ArrayClass_interop_matrix.cpp -</td> -<td> -\verbinclude Tutorial_ArrayClass_interop_matrix.out -</td></tr></table> - -Similarly, if \c array1 and \c array2 are arrays, then the expression <tt>array1.matrix() * array2.matrix()</tt> -computes their matrix product. - -Here is a more advanced example. The expression <tt>(m.array() + 4).matrix() * m</tt> adds 4 to every -coefficient in the matrix \c m and then computes the matrix product of the result with \c m. Similarly, the -expression <tt>(m.array() * n.array()).matrix() * m</tt> computes the coefficient-wise product of the matrices -\c m and \c n and then the matrix product of the result with \c m. - -<table class="example"> -<tr><th>Example:</th><th>Output:</th></tr> -<tr><td> -\include Tutorial_ArrayClass_interop.cpp -</td> -<td> -\verbinclude Tutorial_ArrayClass_interop.out -</td></tr></table> - -*/ - -} |
