objectToNumVector   Overview Syntax Examples Argument Types AIS Component Systems

The objectToNumVector function converts the object {object} into a NumVector returning the new Vector. The {object} may be a List, Vector, Matrix, Structure, Dictionary, or a Directory. If the object is already a NumVector, it is returned unchanged. If it is any other type of Vector (e.g., Vector), it is converted into a number vector. Elements that cannot be converted to a number (a real) are converted to zero. One-dimensional matrices are converted into a number vector. Two-dimensional matrices are converted into an object vector whose elements are number vectors. Each of these vectors contains one row of the matrix. Three-dimensional matrices are converted into an object vector that contains a set of object vectors. There are as many of these object vectors as the planes in the matrix (first dimension). Each of these object vectors contains the same elements as described above for two-dimensional matrices. The keys of structures, dictionaries, and directories are not converted.
