DESCRIPTION

A matrix is a rectangular collection of cells, i.e. organized in rows and columns. Each cell contains exactly one value of arbitrary form. The cells in the matrix are addressed by pairs of integer numbers, with the first (left) number in the pair specifying the column and the second (right) number specifying the row the cell is in. These indices are counted from 0 upward. The special non-numeric index end refers to the last row or column in the matrix, depending on the context. Indices of the form end-number are counted from the end of the row or column, like they are for standard Tcl lists. Trying to access non-existing cells causes an error.

The matrices here are created empty, i.e. they have neither rows nor columns. The user then has to add rows and columns as needed by his application. A specialty of this structure is the ability to export an array-view onto its contents. Such can be used by tkTable, for example, to link the matrix into the display.

The main command of the package is:

The following commands are possible for matrix objects:

EXAMPLES

The examples below assume a 5x5 matrix M with the first row containing the values 1 to 5, with 1 in the top-left cell. Each other row contains the contents of the row above it, rotated by one cell to the right.

% M get rect 0 0 4 4
{{1 2 3 4 5} {5 1 2 3 4} {4 5 1 2 3} {3 4 5 1 2} {2 3 4 5 1}}

% M set rect 1 1 {{0 0 0} {0 0 0} {0 0 0}}
% M get rect 0 0 4 4
{{1 2 3 4 5} {5 0 0 0 4} {4 0 0 0 3} {3 0 0 0 2} {2 3 4 5 1}}

Assuming that the style definitions in the example section of the manpage for the package report are loaded into the interpreter now an example which formats a matrix into a tabular report. The code filling the matrix with data is not shown. contains useful data.

% ::struct::matrix m
% # ... fill m with data, assume 5 columns
% ::report::report r 5 style captionedtable 1
% m format 2string r
