objectToNumMatrix

 

 

Overview

The objectToNumMatrix function converts the object {object} into a NumMatrix returning the new Matrix. The {object} may be a List, Vector, Matrix, Structure, Dictionary, or a Directory. If the object is already a NumMatrix, it is returned unchanged. If it is any other type of Matrix (e.g., Matrix), it is converted into a number matrix. A Vector is converted into a Matrix. An object vector containing vectors is converted into a two-dimensional number matrix. Each of these vectors is converted to one row of the number matrix. An element that cannot be converted to a number is converted to zero. An object vector containing object vectors that each contain a vector is converted into a three-dimensional matrix. Each of these object vectors contains one plane of the matrix (first dimension). Each plane is converted into rows as described above for two-dimensional matrices. Several examples are shown below.

If a vector is being converted, an optional rank and the dimensions of the resulting matrix may be specified. If no rank is provided, the vector is converted to a one-dimensional matrix.

Usage

The objectToNumMatrix function is used to convert a Vector, List, Matrix, Structure, Directory or Dictionary object to a NumMatrix object.

 

Syntax
