Matrix, Vector, Cube and Field Classes
Mat<type>
mat
cx_mat
-
The root matrix class is Mat<type>, where type is one of:
-
float, double, std::complex<float>, std::complex<double>,
char, short, int, long and unsigned versions of char, short, int, long
-
For convenience the following typedefs have been defined:
-
In this documentation the mat type is used for convenience;
it is possible to use other types instead, eg. fmat
-
Functions which use LAPACK or ATLAS (generally matrix decompositions) are only valid for the following types:
mat, fmat, cx_mat, cx_fmat
-
Elements are stored with column-major ordering (ie. column by column)
-
Constructors:
mat()
mat(n_rows, n_cols)
mat(n_rows, n_cols, fill_type)
mat(mat)
mat(vec)
mat(rowvec)
mat(string)
mat(std::vector) (treated as a column vector)
mat(initialiser_list) (C++11 only)
cx_mat(mat,mat) (for constructing a complex matrix out of two real matrices)
-
When specifying the size with n_rows and n_cols, by default the memory is uninitialised;
memory can be initialised by specifying the fill_type,
which is one of:
fill::zeros,
fill::ones,
fill::eye,
fill::randu,
fill::randn,
fill::none,
with the following meanings:
fill::zeros | = | set all elements to 0 |
fill::ones | = | set all elements to 1 |
fill::eye | = | set the elements along the main diagonal to 1 and off-diagonal elements to 0 |
fill::randu | = | set each element to a random value from a uniform distribution in the [0,1] interval |
fill::randn | = | set each element to a random value from a normal/Gaussian distribution with zero mean and unit variance |
fill::none | = | do not modify the elements |
-
The string format for the constructor is elements separated by spaces, and rows denoted by semicolons.
For example, the 2x2 identity matrix can be created using the format string
"1 0; 0 1" .
While string based initialisation is compact,
it is considerably faster to directly set the elements,
use element initialisation,
or use C++11 initialiser lists.
-
Advanced constructors:
mat(aux_mem*, n_rows, n_cols, copy_aux_mem = true, strict = true)
Create a matrix using data from writable auxiliary memory.
By default the matrix allocates its own memory and copies data from the auxiliary memory (for safety).
However, if copy_aux_mem is set to false,
the matrix will instead directly use the auxiliary memory (ie. no copying).
This is faster, but can be dangerous unless you know what you're doing!
The strict variable comes into effect only if copy_aux_mem is set to false
(ie. the matrix is directly using auxiliary memory).
If strict is set to true,
the matrix will be bound to the auxiliary memory for its lifetime;
the number of elements in the matrix can't be changed (directly or indirectly).
If strict is set to false, the matrix will not be bound to the auxiliary memory for its lifetime,
ie., the size of the matrix can be changed.
If the requested number of elements is different to the size of the auxiliary memory,
new memory will be allocated and the auxiliary memory will no longer be used.
mat(const aux_mem*, n_rows, n_cols)
Create a matrix by copying data from read-only auxiliary memory.
mat::fixed<n_rows, n_cols>
Create a fixed size matrix, with the size specified via template arguments.
Memory for the matrix is allocated at compile time.
This is generally faster than dynamic memory allocation, but the size of the matrix can't be changed afterwards (directly or indirectly).
For convenience, there are several pre-defined typedefs for each matrix type
(where the types are: umat, imat, fmat, mat, cx_fmat, cx_mat).
The typedefs specify a square matrix size, ranging from 2x2 to 9x9.
The typedefs were defined by simply appending a two digit form of the size to the matrix type
-- for example, mat33 is equivalent to mat::fixed<3,3>,
while cx_mat44 is equivalent to cx_mat::fixed<4,4>.
mat::fixed<n_rows, n_cols>(const aux_mem*)
Create a fixed size matrix, with the size specified via template arguments,
and copying data from auxiliary memory.
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(5,5);
double x = A(1,2);
mat B = A + A;
mat C = A * B;
mat D = A % B;
cx_mat X(A,B);
B.zeros();
B.set_size(10,10);
B.ones(5,6);
mat E(4,5, fill::zeros);
//
// fixed size matrices:
mat::fixed<5,6> F;
F.ones();
mat44 G;
G.randn();
cout << mat22().randu() << endl;
//
// constructing matrices from
// auxiliary (external) memory:
double aux_mem[24];
mat H(aux_mem, 4, 6, false);
Caveat:
For mathematical correctness, scalars are treated as 1x1 matrices during initialisation.
As such, the code below will not generate a 5x5 matrix with every element equal to 123.0:
mat A(5,5); A = 123.0;
Use the following code instead:
mat A(5,5); A.fill(123.0);
See also:
Col<type>
vec
cx_vec
Caveat:
For mathematical correctness, scalars are treated as 1x1 matrices during initialisation.
As such, the code below will not generate a column vector with every element equal to 123.0:
vec a(5); a = 123.0;
Use the following code instead:
vec a(5); a.fill(123.0);
See also:
Row<type>
rowvec
cx_rowvec
Caveat:
For mathematical correctness, scalars are treated as 1x1 matrices during initialisation.
As such, the code below will not generate a row vector with every element equal to 123.0:
rowvec r(5); r = 123.0;
Use the following code instead:
rowvec r(5); r.fill(123.0);

Cube<type>
cube
cx_cube
-
Classes for cubes, also known as "3D matrices" or 3rd order tensors
-
The cube class is Cube<type>, where type is one of:
-
float, double, std::complex<float>, std::complex<double>,
char, short, int, long and unsigned versions of char, short, int, long
-
For convenience the following typedefs have been defined:
-
In this documentation the cube type is used for convenience;
it is possible to use other types instead, eg. fcube
-
Cube data is stored as a set of slices (matrices) stored contiguously within memory.
Within each slice, elements are stored with column-major ordering (ie. column by column)
-
Each slice can be interpreted as a matrix, hence functions which take Mat as input can generally also take cube slices as input
-
Constructors:
cube()
cube(n_rows, n_cols, n_slices)
cube(n_rows, n_cols, n_slices, fill_type)
cube(cube)
cx_cube(cube, cube) (for constructing a complex cube out of two real cubes)
-
When specifying the cube size with n_rows, n_cols and n_slices, by default the memory is uninitialised;
memory can be initialised by specifying the fill_type,
as per the Mat class (except for fill::eye)
-
Advanced constructors:
cube::fixed<n_rows, n_cols, n_slices>
Create a fixed size cube, with the size specified via template arguments.
Memory for the cube is allocated at compile time.
This is generally faster than dynamic memory allocation, but the size of the cube can't be changed afterwards (directly or indirectly).
cube(aux_mem*, n_rows, n_cols, n_slices, copy_aux_mem = true, strict = true)
Create a cube using data from writable auxiliary memory.
By default the cube allocates its own memory and copies data from the auxiliary memory (for safety).
However, if copy_aux_mem is set to false,
the cube will instead directly use the auxiliary memory (ie. no copying).
This is faster, but can be dangerous unless you know what you're doing!
The strict variable comes into effect only if copy_aux_mem is set to false
(ie. the cube is directly using auxiliary memory).
If strict is set to true,
the cube will be bound to the auxiliary memory for its lifetime;
the number of elements in the cube can't be changed (directly or indirectly).
If strict is set to false, the cube will not be bound to the auxiliary memory for its lifetime,
ie., the size of the cube can be changed.
If the requested number of elements is different to the size of the auxiliary memory,
new memory will be allocated and the auxiliary memory will no longer be used.
cube(const aux_mem*, n_rows, n_cols, n_slices)
Create a cube by copying data from read-only auxiliary memory.
-
Examples:
cube x(1,2,3);
cube y = randu<cube>(4,5,6);
mat A = y.slice(1); // extract a slice from the cube
// (each slice is a matrix)
mat B = randu<mat>(4,5);
y.slice(2) = B; // set a slice in the cube
cube q = y + y; // cube addition
cube r = y % y; // element-wise cube multiplication
cube::fixed<4,5,6> f;
f.ones();
Caveats
For mathematical correctness, scalars are treated as 1x1x1 cubes during initialisation.
As such, the code below will not generate a cube with every element equal to 123.0:
cube c(5,6,7); c = 123.0;
Use the following code instead:
cube c(5,6,7); c.fill(123.0);
See also:
field<object_type>
-
Class for storing arbitrary objects in matrix-like or cube-like layouts
-
Somewhat similar to a matrix or cube, but instead of each element being a scalar,
each element can be a vector (resulting in a field of vectors), or matrix, or cube
-
Each element can have an arbitrary size
-
Constructors, where object_type is another class, eg. vec, mat, std::string, etc:
field<object_type>()
field<object_type>(n_elem)
field<object_type>(n_rows, n_cols)
field<object_type>(n_rows, n_cols, n_slices)
field<object_type>(field<object_type>)
-
Caveat: if you want to store a set of matrices of the same size, the Cube class is more efficient
-
Examples:
// create a field containing vectors
field<vec> F(3,2);
// each vector in the field can have an arbitrary size
F(0,0) = vec(5);
F(1,1) = randu<vec>(6);
F(2,0).set_size(7);
// access element 1 of vector stored at 2,0
double x = F(2,0)(1);
// copy a row of vectors
F.row(0) = F.row(2);
// extract a row of vectors from F
field<vec> G = F.row(1);
// print the field to the standard output
G.print("G =");
// save the field to a binary file
G.save("vec_field");

SpMat<type>
sp_mat
sp_cx_mat
-
The root sparse matrix class is SpMat<type>, where type is one of:
-
float, double, std::complex<float>, std::complex<double>,
char, short, int, long and unsigned versions of char, short, int, long
-
For convenience the following typedefs have been defined:
sp_mat
|
=
|
SpMat<double>
|
sp_fmat
|
=
|
SpMat<float>
|
sp_cx_mat
|
=
|

|
SpMat<cx_float>
|
sp_umat
|
=
|
SpMat<uword>
|
sp_imat
|
=
|
SpMat<sword>
|
-
In this documentation the sp_mat type is used for convenience;
it is possible to use other types instead, eg. sp_fmat
-
Constructors:
sp_mat()
sp_mat(n_rows, n_cols)
sp_mat(sp_mat)
sp_mat(string)
sp_cx_mat(sp_mat,sp_mat) (for constructing a complex matrix out of two real matrices)
-
Elements are stored in the compressed sparse column (CSC) format
-
All elements are treated as zero by default (ie. the matrix is initialised to contain zeros)
-
This class behaves in a similar manner to the Mat class,
however, member functions which set all elements to non-zero values (and hence do not make sense for sparse matrices) have been deliberately omitted;
examples of omitted functions: .fill(), .ones(), += scalar, etc.
-
Batch insertion constructors:
- form 1:
sp_mat(rowind, colptr, values, n_rows, n_cols)
- form 2:
sp_mat(locations, values, sort_locations = true)
- form 3:
sp_mat(locations, values, n_rows, n_cols, sort_locations = true, check_for_zeros = true)
- form 4:
sp_mat(add_values, locations, values, n_rows, n_cols, sort_locations = true, check_for_zeros = true)
-
Using batch insertion constructors is generally much faster than consecutively inserting values using element access operators
-
For form 1,
rowind is a dense column vector of type umat or uvec containing the row indices of the values to be inserted,
and
colptr is a dense column vector of type umat or uvec containing indices of values corresponding to the start of new columns;
the vectors correspond to the arrays used by the compressed sparse column format
-
For forms 2, 3, 4,
locations is a dense matrix of type umat, with a size of 2 x N, where N is the number of values to be inserted;
the location of the i-th element is specified by the contents of the i-th column of the locations matrix,
where the row is in locations(0,i), and the column is in locations(1,i)
-
For all forms, values is a dense column vector containing the values to be inserted;
it must have the same element type as the sparse matrix.
For forms 2 and 3, the value in values[i] will be inserted at the location specified by the i-th column of the locations matrix.
-
For form 4,
add_values is either true or false; when set to true, identical locations are allowed, and the values at identical locations are added
-
The size of the constructed matrix is either manually specified via n_rows and n_cols (forms 1, 3, 4),
or automatically determined from the maximal locations in the locations matrix (form 2)
-
If sort_locations is set to false, the locations matrix is assumed to contain locations that are already sorted according to column-major ordering
-
If check_for_zeros is set to false, the values vector is assumed to contain no zero values
-
Caveat:
support for sparse matrices in this version is preliminary;
it is not yet fully optimised, and sparse matrix decompositions/factorisations are not yet fully implemented;
the following subset of operations currently works with sparse matrices:
- element access
- fundamental arithmetic operations (such as addition and multiplication)
- submatrix views
- saving and loading (in arma_binary format)
- element-wise functions: abs(), sqrt(), square()
- scalar functions of matrices: accu(), as_scalar(), dot(), norm(), trace()
- vector valued functions of matrices: min(), max(), sum(), mean(), var()
- matrix valued functions of matrices: .t(), trans()
- generated matrices: speye(), spones(), sprandu()/sprandn()
- eigen decomposition: eigs_sym(), eigs_gen()
- miscellaneous: print()
-
Examples:
sp_mat A(5,6);
sp_mat B(6,5);
A(0,0) = 1;
A(1,0) = 2;
B(0,0) = 3;
B(0,1) = 4;
sp_mat C = 2*B;
sp_mat D = A*C;
// batch insertion of two values at (5, 6) and (9, 9)
umat locations;
locations << 5 << 9 << endr
<< 6 << 9 << endr;
vec values;
values << 1.5 << 3.2 << endr;
sp_mat X(locations, values);

-
Member functions of Mat
-
Write access to each column or row of a matrix/submatrix,
allowing a vector operation to be repeated on each column or row
-
The operation can be in-place vector addition, subtraction, element-wise multiplication, element-wise division, or simply vector copy
- The argument vector_of_indices is optional -- by default all columns or rows are accessed
-
If the argument vector_of_indices is used, it must evaluate to be a vector of type uvec;
the vector contains a list of indices of the columns or rows to be accessed
-
Examples:
mat X = ones<mat>(6,5);
vec v = linspace<vec>(10,15,6);
// add v to each column in X
X.each_col() += v;
// subtract v from columns 0 through to 3 in X
X.cols(0,3).each_col() -= v;
uvec indices(2);
indices(0) = 2;
indices(1) = 4;
// copy v to columns 2 and 4 in X
X.each_col(indices) = v;

element/object access via (), [] and .at()
-
Provide access to individual elements or objects stored in a container object
(ie., Mat, Col, Row, Cube, field)
(n)
|
|
For vec and rowvec, access the n-th element.
For mat, cube and field, access the n-th element/object under the assumption of a flat layout,
with column-major ordering of data (ie. column by column).
A std::logic_error exception is thrown if the requested element is out of bounds.
The bounds check can be optionally disabled at compile-time to get more speed.
|
|
|
|
.at(n) or [n]
|
|
As for (n), but without a bounds check.
Not recommended for use unless your code has been thoroughly debugged.
|
|
|
|
(i,j)
|
|
For mat and field classes, access the element/object stored at the i-th row and j-th column.
A std::logic_error exception is thrown if the requested element is out of bounds.
The bounds check can be optionally disabled at compile-time to get more speed.
|
|
|
|
.at(i,j)
|
|
As for (i,j), but without a bounds check.
Not recommended for use unless your code has been thoroughly debugged.
|
|
|
|
|
(i,j,k)
|
|
Cube only: access the element stored at the i-th row, j-th column and k-th slice.
A std::logic_error exception is thrown if the requested element is out of bounds.
The bounds check can be optionally disabled at compile-time to get more speed.
|
|
|
|
.at(i,j,k)
|
|
As for (i,j,k), but without a bounds check.
Not recommended for use unless your code has been thoroughly debugged. |
-
The bounds checks used by the (n), (i,j) and (i,j,k) access forms
can be disabled by defining the ARMA_NO_DEBUG macro
before including the armadillo header file (eg. #define ARMA_NO_DEBUG).
Disabling the bounds checks is not recommended until your code has been thoroughly debugged
-- it's better to write correct code first, and then maximise its speed.
-
Note: for sparse matrices, using element access operators to insert values via loops can be inefficient;
you may wish to use batch insertion constructors instead
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(10,10);
A(9,9) = 123.0;
double x = A.at(9,9);
double y = A[99];
vec p = randu<vec>(10,1);
p(9) = 123.0;
double z = p[9];
See also:
element initialisation
-
Instances of Mat, Col, Row and field classes can be initialised via the << operator
-
Special element endr indicates "end of row" (conceptually similar to std::endl)
-
Setting elements via << is a bit slower than directly accessing the elements,
but code using << is generally more readable and easier to write
-
When using a C++11 compiler, matrices and vectors can use initialiser lists instead; for example: { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
-
Examples:
mat A;
A << 1 << 2 << 3 << endr
<< 4 << 5 << 6 << endr;
mat B = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }; // C++11 only
B.reshape(2,3);
See also:
.eval()
-
Member function of any matrix or vector expression
-
Explicitly forces the evaluation of a delayed expression and outputs a matrix
-
This function should be used sparingly and only in cases where it is absolutely necessary; indiscriminate use can cause slow downs
-
Examples:
cx_mat A( randu<mat>(4,4), randu<mat>(4,4) );
real(A).eval().save("A_real.dat", raw_ascii);
imag(A).eval().save("A_imag.dat", raw_ascii);

- Returns true if the given location or span is currently valid
- Returns false if the object is empty, the location is out of bounds, or the span is out of bounds
-
Instances of span(a,b) can be replaced by:
- span() or span::all, to indicate the entire range
- span(a), to indicate a particular row, column or slice
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(4,5);
cout << A.in_range(0,0) << endl; // true
cout << A.in_range(3,4) << endl; // true
cout << A.in_range(4,5) << endl; // false

.is_finite()
-
Member function of Mat, Col, Row, Cube, SpMat
- Returns true if all elements of the object are finite
- Returns false if at least one of the elements of the object is non-finite (±infinity or NaN)
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(5,5);

-
Member functions of Mat and SpMat
- .is_vec():
- Returns true if the matrix can be interpreted as a vector (either column or row vector)
- Returns false if the matrix does not have exactly one column or one row
- .is_colvec():
- Returns true if the matrix can be interpreted as a column vector
- Returns false if the matrix does not have exactly one column
- .is_rowvec():
- Returns true if the matrix can be interpreted as a row vector

- Caveat: do not assume that the vector has elements if these functions return true; it is possible to have an empty vector (eg. 0x1)
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(1,5);
mat B = randu<mat>(5,1);
mat C = randu<mat>(5,5);
cout << A.is_vec() << endl;
cout << B.is_vec() << endl;

See also:
.imbue( functor )
.imbue( lambda_function ) (C++11 only)
-
Member functions of Mat, Col, Row and Cube
-
Imbue (fill) with values provided by a functor or lambda function
-
For matrices, filling is done column-by-column (ie. column 0 is filled, then column 1, ...)
-
For cubes, filling is done slice-by-slice; each slice is filled column-by-column
-
Examples:
// C++11 only example
// need to include <random>
std::mt19937 engine; // Mersenne twister random number engine
std::uniform_real_distribution<double> distr(0.0, 1.0);
mat A(4,5);
A.imbue( [&]() { return distr(engine); } );

-
Functions with the X argument: insert a copy of X at the specified row/column/slice
- if inserting rows, X must have the same number of columns as the recipient object
- if inserting columns, X must have the same number of rows as the recipient object
- if inserting slices, X must have the same number of rows and columns as the recipient object (ie. all slices must have the same size)
-
Functions with the number_of_... argument: expand the object by creating new rows/columns/slices.
By default, the new rows/columns/slices are set to zero.
If set_to_zero is false, the memory used by the new rows/columns/slices will not be initialised.
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(5,10);
mat B = ones<mat>(5,2);
// at column 2, insert a copy of B;
// A will now have 12 columns
A.insert_cols(2, B);
// at column 1, insert 5 zeroed columns;
// B will now have 7 columns
B.insert_cols(1, 5);

|
|
|
== |
|
Element-wise equality evaluation of two objects; generates a matrix of type umat with entries that indicate whether at a given position the two elements from the two objects are equal (1) or not equal (0) |
!= |
|
Element-wise non-equality evaluation of two objects |
|
|
|
>= |
|
As for == , but the check is for "greater than or equal to" |
<= |
|
As for == , but the check is for "less than or equal to" |
|
|
|
> |
|
As for == , but the check is for "greater than" |
< |
|
As for == , but the check is for "less than" |
-
Caveat: operators involving an equality comparison (ie.,
== , != , >= , <= )
may not work as expected for floating point element types (ie., float, double)
due to the necessarily limited precision of these types;
in other words, these operators are (in general) not recommended for matrices of type mat or fmat
-
A std::logic_error exception is thrown if incompatible object sizes are used
-
If the
+ , - and % operators are chained, Armadillo will try to avoid the generation of temporaries;
no temporaries are generated if all given objects are of the same type and size
-
If the
* operator is chained, Armadillo will try to find an efficient ordering of the matrix multiplications
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(5,10);
mat B = randu<mat>(5,10);
mat C = randu<mat>(10,5);
mat P = A + B;
mat Q = A - B;
mat R = -B;
mat S = A / 123.0;
mat T = A % B;
mat U = A * C;
// V is constructed without temporaries
mat V = A + B + A + B;
imat AA = "1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9;";
imat BB = "3 2 1; 6 5 4; 9 8 7;";
// compare elements
umat ZZ = (AA >= BB);

The default file_type for .save() and .quiet_save() is arma_binary (see below)
-
The default file_type for .load() and .quiet_load() is auto_detect (see below)
- On success, save(), load(), quiet_save(), and quite_load() will return a bool set to true
- save() and quiet_save() will return a bool set to false if the saving process fails
-
load() and quiet_load() will return a bool set to false if the loading process fails;
additionally, the object will be reset so it has no elements
- load() and save() will print warning messages if any problems are encountered
- quiet_load() and quiet_save() do not print any error messages
-
file_type can be one of the following:
auto_detect |
|
Used by load() and quiet_load() only:
try to automatically detect the file type as one of the formats described below.
This is the default operation.
|
raw_ascii |
|
Numerical data stored in raw ASCII format, without a header.
The numbers are separated by whitespace.
The number of columns must be the same in each row.
Cubes are loaded as one slice.
Data which was saved in Matlab/Octave using the -ascii option can be read in Armadillo, except for complex numbers.
Complex numbers are stored in standard C++ notation, which is a tuple surrounded by brackets: eg. (1.23,4.56) indicates 1.24 + 4.56i.
|
raw_binary |
|
Numerical data stored in machine dependent raw binary format, without a header.
Matrices are loaded to have one column,
while cubes are loaded to have one slice with one column.
The .reshape() function can be used to alter the size of the loaded matrix/cube without losing data.
|
arma_ascii |
|
Numerical data stored in human readable text format, with a simple header to speed up loading.
The header indicates the type of matrix as well as the number of rows and columns.
For cubes, the header additionally specifies the number of slices.
|
arma_binary |
|
Numerical data stored in machine dependent binary format, with a simple header to speed up loading.
The header indicates the type of matrix as well as the number of rows and columns.
For cubes, the header additionally specifies the number of slices.
arma_binary is the default file_type for .save() and .quiet_save()
|
csv_ascii |
|
Numerical data stored in comma separated value (CSV) text format, without a header.
Applicable to Mat only.
|
hdf5_binary |
|
Numerical data stored in portable HDF5 binary format.
Caveat:
support for HDF5 must be enabled within Armadillo's configuration;
the hdf5.h header file must be available on your system and you will need to link with the hdf5 library (eg. -lhdf5)
|
pgm_binary |
|
Image data stored in Portable Gray Map (PGM) format.
Applicable to Mat only.
Saving int, float or double matrices is a lossy operation, as each element is copied and converted to an 8 bit representation.
As such the matrix should have values in the [0,255] interval, otherwise the resulting image may not display correctly.
|
ppm_binary |
|
Image data stored in Portable Pixel Map (PPM) format.
Applicable to Cube only.
Saving int, float or double matrices is a lossy operation, as each element is copied and converted to an 8 bit representation.
As such the cube/field should have values in the [0,255] interval, otherwise the resulting image may not display correctly.

-
Fields with objects of type std::string are saved and loaded as raw text files.
The text files do not have a header.
Each string is separated by a whitespace.
load() and quiet_load() will only accept text files that have the same number of strings on each line.
The strings can have variable lengths.
-
Other than storing string fields as text files, the following file formats are supported:
auto_detect |
|
-
load(): try to automatically detect the field format type as one of the formats described below;
this is the default operation.
|
arma_binary |
|
-
Objects are stored in machine dependent binary format
-
Default type for fields of type Mat, Col, Row or Cube
-
Only applicable to fields of type Mat, Col, Row or Cube
|
ppm_binary |
|
-
Image data stored in Portable Pixmap Map (PPM) format.
-
Only applicable to fields of type Mat, Col or Row
-
.load(): loads the specified image and stores the red, green and blue components as three separate matrices;
the resulting field is comprised of the three matrices,
with the red, green and blue components in the first, second and third matrix, respectively
-
.save(): saves a field with exactly three matrices of equal size as an image;
it is assumed that the red, green and blue components are stored in the first, second and third matrix, respectively;
saving int, float or double matrices is a lossy operation,
as each matrix element is copied and converted to an 8 bit representation

mat B = randu<mat>(4,5);
cx_mat C = zeros<cx_mat>(4,5);
C.set_real(A);
C.set_imag(B);
Caveat:
if you want to directly construct a complex matrix out of two real matrices,
the following code is faster:
mat A = randu<mat>(4,5);
mat B = randu<mat>(4,5);
cx_mat C = cx_mat(A,B);

submatrix views
- A collection of member functions of Mat, Col and Row classes that provide read/write access to submatrix views
- For a matrix or vector X, the subviews are accessed as:
- contiguous views:
X.col( col_number )
X.row( row_number )
X.cols( first_col, last_col )
X.rows( first_row, last_row )
X.submat( first_row, first_col, last_row, last_col )

X.unsafe_col( col_number )
V( span(first_index, last_index) ) (for vectors only)
V.subvec( first_index, last_index ) (for vectors only)
- non-contiguous views:

X( vector_of_indices )
X.cols( vector_of_column_indices )
X.rows( vector_of_row_indices )
X.submat( vector_of_row_indices, vector_of_column_indices )
X( vector_of_row_indices, vector_of_column_indices )
- related views (documented separately)
-
Instances of span::all, to indicate an entire range, can be replaced by span(), where no number is specified
-
For functions requiring one or more vector of indices,
eg. X.submat(vector_of_row_indices,vector_of_column_indices),
each vector of indices must be of type uvec.
-
In the function X.elem(vector_of_indices),
elements specified in vector_of_indices are accessed.
X is interpreted as one long vector,
with column-by-column ordering of the elements of X.
The vector_of_indices must evaluate to be a vector of type uvec
(eg., generated by find()).
The aggregate set of the specified elements is treated as a column vector
(ie., the output of X.elem() is always a column vector).
-
The function .unsafe_col() is provided for speed reasons and should be used only if you know what you're doing.
The function creates a seemingly independent Col vector object (eg. vec),
but the vector actually uses memory from the existing matrix object.
As such, the created Col vector is currently not alias safe
and does not take into account that the parent matrix object could be deleted.
If deleted memory is accessed through the created Col vector,
it will cause memory corruption and/or a crash.
-
Examples:
mat A = zeros<mat>(5,10);
A.submat( 0,1, 2,3 ) = randu<mat>(3,3);
A( span(0,2), span(1,3) ) = randu<mat>(3,3);
A( 0,1, size(3,3) ) = randu<mat>(3,3);
mat B = A.submat( 0,1, 2,3 );
mat C = A( span(0,2), span(1,3) );
mat D = A( 0,1, size(3,3) );
A.col(1) = randu<mat>(5,1);
A(span::all, 1) = randu<mat>(5,1);
mat X = randu<mat>(5,5);
// get all elements of X that are greater than 0.5
vec q = X.elem( find(X > 0.5) );
// add 123 to all elements of X greater than 0.5
X.elem( find(X > 0.5) ) += 123.0;
// set four specific elements of X to 1
uvec indices;
indices << 2 << 3 << 6 << 8;
X.elem(indices) = ones<vec>(4);

subcube views and slices
- A collection of member functions of the Cube class that provide subcube views
- For a cube Q, the subviews are accessed as:
- contiguous views:
Q.slice( slice_number )
Q.slices( first_slice, last_slice )
Q.subcube( first_row, first_col, first_slice, last_row, last_col, last_slice )
Q( span(first_row, last_row), span(first_col, last_col), span(first_slice, last_slice) )

Q.tube( first_row, first_col, size(n_rows, n_cols) )
- non-contiguous views:
Q.elem( vector_of_indices )
Q( vector_of_indices )
-
Instances of span(a,b) can be replaced by:
- span() or span::all, to indicate the entire range
- span(a), to indicate a particular row, column or slice
-
An individual slice, accessed via .slice(), is an instance of the Mat class
(a reference to a matrix is provided)
-
All .tube() forms are variants of .subcube(), using first_slice = 0 and last_slice = Q.n_slices-1
-
The .tube(row,col) form uses row = first_row = last_row, and col = first_col = last_col
-
In the function Q.elem(vector_of_indices),
elements specified in vector_of_indices are accessed.
Q is interpreted as one long vector,
with slice-by-slice and column-by-column ordering of the elements of Q.
The vector_of_indices must evaluate to be a vector of type uvec
(eg., generated by find()).
The aggregate set of the specified elements is treated as a column vector
(ie., the output of Q.elem() is always a column vector).
-
Examples:
cube A = randu<cube>(2,3,4);
mat B = A.slice(1);
A.slice(0) = randu<mat>(2,3);
A.slice(0)(1,2) = 99.0;
A.subcube(0,0,1, 1,1,2) = randu<cube>(2,2,2);
A( span(0,1), span(0,1), span(1,2) ) = randu<cube>(2,2,2);
A( 0,0,1, size(2,2,2) ) = randu<cube>(2,2,2);

linspace( start, end )
linspace( start, end, N )
-
Generate a vector with N elements;
the values of the elements linearly increase from start to (and including) end
-
By default N = 100
-
Usage:
- vector_type v = linspace<vector_type>(start, end, N)
- matrix_type X = linspace<matrix_type>(start, end, N)
-
If a matrix_type is specified, the resultant matrix will have one column
-
Examples:
vec v = linspace<vec>(10, 20, 5);
mat X = linspace<mat>(10, 20, 5);

-
Generate a vector, matrix or cube with the elements set to random integer values in the [a,b] interval
- The default distribution parameters are a=0 and b=maximum_int
-
Usage:
- vector_type v = randi<vector_type>(n_elem)
- vector_type v = randi<vector_type>(n_elem, distr_param(a,b))

To change the RNG seed, use arma_rng::set_seed(value) or arma_rng::set_seed_random() functions
-
Caveat: if you want to generate a continuous distribution with floating point values (ie. float or double),
use randu() or randn() instead
-
Examples:
imat A = randi<imat>(5, 6);
imat A = randi<imat>(6, 7, distr_param(-10, +20));
arma_rng::set_seed_random(); // set the seed to a random value

-
Generate a vector, matrix or cube with the elements set to random floating point values
- randu() uses a uniform distribution in the [0,1] interval

cor( X, Y )
cor( X, Y, norm_type )
cor( X )
cor( X, norm_type )
-
For two matrix arguments X and Y,
if each row of X and Y is an observation and each column is a variable,
the (i,j)-th entry of cor(X,Y) is the correlation coefficient between the i-th variable in X and the j-th variable in Y
-
For vector arguments, the type of vector is ignored and each element in the vector is treated as an observation
-
For matrices, X and Y must have the same dimensions
-
For vectors, X and Y must have the same number of elements
-
cor(X) is equivalent to cor(X, X), also called autocorrelation
-
The default norm_type=0 performs normalisation of the correlation matrix using N-1 (where N is the number of observations).
Using norm_type=1 causes normalisation to be done using N
-
Examples:
mat X = randu<mat>(4,5);
mat Y = randu<mat>(4,5);
mat R = cor(X,Y);
mat S = cor(X,Y, 1);

For two matrix arguments X and Y,

-
For vector arguments, the type of vector is ignored and each element in the vector is treated as an observation
-
For matrices, X and Y must have the same dimensions
-
For vectors, X and Y must have the same number of elements
-
cov(X) is equivalent to cov(X, X)
-
The default norm_type=0 performs normalisation using N-1 (where N is the number of observations),
providing the best unbiased estimation of the covariance matrix (if the observations are from a normal distribution).
Using norm_type=1 causes normalisation to be done using N, which provides the second moment matrix of the observations about their mean

mat X = randu<mat>(4,5);
mat Y = randu<mat>(4,5);
mat C = cov(X,Y);
mat D = cov(X,Y, 1);

find( X )
find( X, k )
find( X, k, s )
- Return a column vector containing the indices of elements of X that are non-zero or satisfy a relational condition
- The output vector must have the type uvec or umat
(ie. the indices are stored as unsigned integers of type uword)
-
X is interpreted as a vector, with column-by-column ordering of the elements of X
- Relational operators can be used instead of X, eg. A > 0.5
- If k=0 (default), return the indices of all non-zero elements, otherwise return at most k of their indices
- If s="first" (default), return at most the first k indices of the non-zero elements
- If s="last", return at most the last k indices of the non-zero elements
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(5,5);
mat B = randu<mat>(5,5);
uvec q1 = find(A > B);
uvec q2 = find(A > 0.5);
uvec q3 = find(A > 0.5, 3, "last");
// change elements of A greater than 0.5 to 1

For vector V,
produce an unsigned vector of the same orientation as V (ie. either uvec or urowvec)
that represents a histogram of counts
-
For matrix X,
produce a umat matrix containing either
column histogram counts (for dim=0, default),
or
row histogram counts (for dim=1)
-
The bin centers can be automatically determined from the data, with the number of bins specified via n_bins (default is 10);
the range of the bins is determined by the range of the data
-
The bin centers can also be explicitly specified via the centers vector;
the vector must contain monotonically increasing values (eg. 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...)

unless you explicitly need to take the transpose of a complex matrix without taking the conjugate of the elements
-
See the documentation for inplace_trans() for more details
inplace_trans( X )
inplace_trans( X, method )
-
In-place / in-situ transpose of matrix X
-
If X has real elements, a normal transpose is done
-
If X has complex elements, a Hermitian transpose is done (ie. the conjugate of the elements is taken during the transpose operation)
-
The argument method is optional
-
By default, a standard transposition algorithm is used; a low-memory algorithm can be used instead by explicitly setting method to "lowmem"
-
The low-memory algorithm is considerably slower than the standard algorithm;
using the low-memory algorithm is only recommended for cases where X takes up more than half of available memory (ie. very large X)
-
Examples:
mat X = randu<mat>(4,5);
mat Y = randu<mat>(20000,30000);
inplace_trans(X); // use standard algorithm by default
inplace_trans(Y, "lowmem"); // use low-memory (and slow) algorithm

eig_sym( eigval, eigvec, X )
eig_sym( eigval, eigvec, X, method )
- Eigen decomposition of dense symmetric/hermitian matrix X
- The eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors are stored in eigval and eigvec, respectively
- The eigenvalues are in ascending order
- If X is not square, a std::logic_error exception is thrown
- The method argument is optional; method is either "dc" or "std", with "dc" indicating divide-and-conquer and "std" indicating standard
-
In version 4.000 and later, the default method is "dc"
-
In version 3.930, the default method is "std"
-
The divide-and-conquer method provides slightly different results than the standard method, but is considerably faster for large matrices
- If the decomposition fails, the output objects are reset and:
- eig_sym(X) throws a std::runtime_error exception
- eig_sym(eigval, X) and eig_sym(eigval, eigvec, X) return a bool set to false
- There is currently no check whether X is symmetric

X = solve( A, B )
X = solve( A, B, method )
solve( X, A, B )
solve( X, A, B, method )
- Solve a system of linear equations, A*X = B, where X is unknown;
similar functionality to the \ operator in Matlab/Octave, ie. X = A \ B
- If A is square, solve() is faster and more accurate than using X = inv(A)*B
-
If A is non-square,
solve() will try to provide approximate solutions to under-determined as well as over-determined systems
-
B can be a vector or a matrix
-
The number of rows in A and B must be the same
- The method argument is optional.
For matrix sizes ≤ 4x4, a fast algorithm is used.
In rare instances, the fast algorithm might be less precise than the standard algorithm.
To force the use of the standard algorithm,
set the method argument to "std".
For matrix sizes greater than 4x4, the standard algorithm is always used
-
If A is known to be a triangular matrix,
the solution can be computed faster by explicitly marking A as triangular
through trimatu() or trimatl()
-
If no solution is found, X is reset and:
- solve(A,B) throws a std::runtime_error exception
- solve(X,A,B) returns a bool set to false
-
Examples:
mat A = randu<mat>(5,5);

Singular value decomposition of matrix X
- If X is square, it can be reconstructed using X = U*diagmat(s)*V.t()
-
The singular values are in descending order
- The method argument is optional; method is either "dc" or "std", with "dc" indicating divide-and-conquer and "std" indicating standard
-
In version 4.000 and later, the default method is "dc"
-
In version 3.930, the default method is "std"
-
The divide-and-conquer method provides slightly different results than the standard method, but is considerably faster for large matrices
-
If the decomposition fails, the output objects are reset and:
- svd(X) throws a std::runtime_error exception
- svd(s,X) and svd(U,s,V,X) return a bool set to false

- "left": compute only left singular vectors
- "right": compute only right singular vectors
- The method argument is optional; method is either "dc" or "std", with "dc" indicating divide-and-conquer and "std" indicating standard
-

Notes:
-
for probabilistic applications,
better model parameters are typically learned with dist_mode set to
maha_dist
-
for vector quantisation applications,
model parameters should be learned with dist_mode set to
eucl_dist ,
and the number of EM iterations set to zero
-
in general, a sufficient number of k-means and EM iterations is typically about 10
-
the number of training samples should be much larger than the number of Gaussians
-
seeding the initial means with
static_spread and random_spread
can be much more time consuming than with static_subset and random_subset
-
to run the k-means and EM algorithms in multi-threaded mode, enable OpenMP in your compiler (eg. -fopenmp in GCC)
-
Examples:
// create synthetic data with 2 Gaussians
uword N = 10000;
uword d = 5;

logging of warnings and errors
set_stream_err1( user_stream )
set_stream_err2( user_stream )
std::ostream& x = get_stream_err1()
std::ostream& x = get_stream_err2()
-
By default, Armadillo prints warnings and messages associated with std::logic_error, std::runtime_error and std::bad_alloc exceptions
to the std::cout stream
- set_stream_err1(): change the stream for messages associated with std::logic_error exceptions (eg. out of bounds accesses)
- set_stream_err2(): change the stream for warnings and messages associated with std::runtime_error and std::bad_alloc exceptions (eg. failed decompositions, out of memory)
- get_stream_err1(): get a reference to the stream for messages associated with std::logic_error exceptions
- get_stream_err2(): get a reference to the stream for warnings and messages associated with std::runtime_error exceptions
-
The printing of all errors and warnings can be disabled by defining ARMA_DONT_PRINT_ERRORS before including the armadillo header
-
Examples:
// print "hello" to the current err1 stream
get_stream_err1() << "hello" << endl;
// change the err2 stream to be a file
ofstream f("my_log.txt");
set_stream_err2(f);
// trying to invert a singular matrix
// will print a message to the err2 stream
// and throw an exception
mat X = zeros<mat>(5,5);
mat Y = inv(X);
// disable messages being printed to the err2 stream
std::ostream nullstream(0);
set_stream_err2(nullstream);
Caveat: set_stream_err1() and set_stream_err2() will not change the stream used by .print()

example program
-
If you save the program below as example.cpp,
under Linux you can compile it using:
g++ example.cpp -o example -O1 -larmadillo
#include <iostream>
#include <armadillo>
using namespace std;
using namespace arma;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
mat A = randu<mat>(4,5);
mat B = randu<mat>(4,5);
cout << A*B.t() << endl;
return 0;
}
You may also want to have a look at the example programs that come with the Armadillo archive
As Armadillo is a template library, we strongly recommended to have optimisation enabled when compiling programs
(eg. when compiling with GCC, use the -O1 or -O2 options)
config.hpp
-
Armadillo can be configured via editing the file include/armadillo_bits/config.hpp.
Specific functionality can be enabled or disabled by uncommenting or commenting out a particular #define, listed below.
ARMA_USE_LAPACK
|
|
Enable the use of LAPACK, or a high-speed replacement for LAPACK (eg. Intel MKL, AMD ACML or the Accelerate framework).
Armadillo requires LAPACK for functions such as svd(), inv(), eig_sym(), solve(), etc.
|
|
|
|
ARMA_DONT_USE_LAPACK
|
|
Disable use of LAPACK. Overrides ARMA_USE_LAPACK
|
|
|
|
ARMA_USE_BLAS
|
|
Enable the use of BLAS, or a high-speed replacement for BLAS (eg. OpenBLAS, Intel MKL, AMD ACML or the Accelerate framework).
BLAS is used for matrix multiplication.
Without BLAS, Armadillo will use a built-in matrix multiplication routine, which might be slower for large matrices.
|
|
|
|
ARMA_DONT_USE_BLAS
|
|
Disable use of BLAS. Overrides ARMA_USE_BLAS
|
|
|
|
ARMA_USE_ARPACK
|
|
Enable the use of ARPACK, or a high-speed replacement for ARPACK.
Armadillo requires ARPACK for the eigen decomposition of sparse matrices, ie. eigs_gen() and eigs_sym()
|
|
|
|
ARMA_DONT_USE_ARPACK
|
|
Disable use of ARPACK. Overrides ARMA_USE_ARPACK
|
|
|
|
ARMA_USE_HDF5
|
|
Enable the ability to save and load matrices stored in the HDF5 format;
the hdf5.h header file must be available on your system and you will need to link with the hdf5 library (eg. -lhdf5)
|
|
|
|
ARMA_DONT_USE_HDF5
|
|
Disable the use of the HDF5 library. Overrides ARMA_USE_HDF5
|
|
|
|
ARMA_DONT_USE_WRAPPER
|
|
Disable going through the run-time Armadillo wrapper library (libarmadillo.so) when calling LAPACK, BLAS, ARPACK and HDF5 functions.
You will need to directly link with LAPACK, BLAS, etc (eg. -llapack -lblas)
|
|
|
|
ARMA_USE_CXX11
|
|
Use C++11 features, such as initialiser lists;
automatically enabled when using a compiler in C++11 mode, for example, g++ -std=c++11
|
|
|
|
ARMA_DONT_USE_CXX11
|
|
Disable use of C++11 features. Overrides ARMA_USE_CXX11
|
|
|
|
ARMA_BLAS_CAPITALS
|
|
Use capitalised (uppercase) BLAS and LAPACK function names (eg. DGEMM vs dgemm)
|
|
|
|
ARMA_BLAS_UNDERSCORE
|
|
Append an underscore to BLAS and LAPACK function names (eg. dgemm_ vs dgemm). Enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
ARMA_BLAS_LONG
|
|
Use "long" instead of "int" when calling BLAS and LAPACK functions
|
|
|
|
ARMA_BLAS_LONG_LONG
|
|
Use "long long" instead of "int" when calling BLAS and LAPACK functions
|
|
|
|
ARMA_USE_TBB_ALLOC
|
|
Use Intel TBB scalable_malloc() and scalable_free() instead of standard malloc() and free() for managing matrix memory
|
|
|
|
ARMA_USE_MKL_ALLOC
|
|
Use Intel MKL mkl_malloc() and mkl_free() instead of standard malloc() and free() for managing matrix memory
|
|
|
|
ARMA_64BIT_WORD
|
|
Use 64 bit integers. Useful if you require matrices/vectors capable of holding more than 4 billion elements.
Your machine and compiler must have support for 64 bit integers (eg. via "long" or "long long").
This can also be enabled by adding #define ARMA_64BIT_WORD before each instance of #include <armadillo>.
|
|
|
|
ARMA_NO_DEBUG
|
|
Disable all run-time checks, such as bounds checking.
This will result in faster code, but you first need to make sure that your code runs correctly!
We strongly recommend to have the run-time checks enabled during development,
as this greatly aids in finding mistakes in your code, and hence speeds up development.
We recommend that run-time checks be disabled only for the shipped version of your program
(ie. final release build).
|
|
|
|
ARMA_EXTRA_DEBUG
|
|
Print out the trace of internal functions used for evaluating expressions.
Not recommended for normal use.
This is mainly useful for debugging the library.
|
|
|
|
ARMA_MAT_PREALLOC
|
|
The number of preallocated elements used by matrices and vectors.
Must be always enabled and set to an integer that is at least 1.
By default set to 16.
If you mainly use lots of very small vectors (eg. ≤ 4 elements), change the number to the size of your vectors.
|
|
|
|
ARMA_DEFAULT_OSTREAM
|
|
The default stream used for printing error messages and by .print().
Must be always enabled.
By default defined to std::cout
|
|
|
|
ARMA_PRINT_ERRORS
|
|
Print errors and warnings encountered during program execution
|
|
|
|
ARMA_DONT_PRINT_ERRORS
|
|
Do not print errors or warnings. Overrides ARMA_PRINT_ERRORS
|
|

History of API Additions, Changes and Deprecations
API and Version Policy
-
Armadillo's version number is A.B.C, where A is a major version, B is a minor version, and C is the patch level (indicating bug fixes)
-
Within each major version (eg. 4.x), minor versions with an even number (ie. evenly divisible by two) are backwards compatible with earlier even minor versions.
For example, code written for version 4.000 will work with version 4.100, 4.120, 4.200, etc.
However, as each minor version may have more features (ie. API extensions) than earlier versions,
code specifically written for version 4.100 doesn't necessarily work with 4.000
-
Experimental versions are denoted by an odd minor version number (ie. not evenly divisible by two), such as 4.199.
Experimental versions are generally faster and/or have more functionality,
but their APIs have not been finalised yet (though the likelihood of APIs changes is quite low)
-
We don't like changes to existing APIs and strongly prefer not to break any user software.
However, to allow evolution, we reserve the right to alter the APIs in future major versions of Armadillo
while remaining backwards compatible in as many cases as possible
(eg. version 5.x may have slightly different APIs than 4.x).
In a rare instance the user API may need to be tweaked if a bug fix absolutely requires it
-
This policy is applicable to the APIs described in this documentation; it is not applicable to internal functions
(ie. the underlying internal implementation details may change across consecutive minor versions)

- Changed in 3.0:
- expressions X=inv(A)*B and X=A.i()*B are automatically converted to X=solve(A,B)
- better detection of vector expressions by sum(), cumsum(), prod(), min(), max(), mean(), median(), stddev(), var()
- faster generation of random numbers
(eg. randu() and randn()),
via an algorithm that produces slightly different numbers than in 2.x
-
support for tying writable auxiliary (external) memory to fixed size matrices has been removed;
instead, you can use standard matrices with writable auxiliary memory,
or initialise fixed size matrices by copying the memory.
Using auxiliary memory with standard matrices is unaffected.
-
.print_trans() and .raw_print_trans() have been removed;
instead, you can chain .t() and .print() to achieve a similar result: X.t().print()
- Added in 2.4:
- shorter forms of transposes: .t() and .st()
- .resize() and resize()
- optional use of 64 bit indices (allowing matrices to have more than 4 billion elements),
enabled via ARMA_64BIT_WORD in include/armadillo_bits/config.hpp
- experimental support for C++11 initialiser lists,
enabled via ARMA_USE_CXX11 in include/armadillo_bits/config.hpp
- Changed in 2.4:
- refactored code to eliminate warnings when using the Clang C++ compiler
- umat, uvec, .min() and .max()
have been changed to use the uword type instead of the u32 type;
by default the uword and u32 types are equivalent (ie. unsigned integer type with a minimum width 32 bits);
however, when the use of 64 bit indices is enabled via ARMA_64BIT_WORD in include/armadillo_bits/config.hpp,
the uword type then has a minimum width of 64 bits
- Added in 2.2:
- Added in 2.0:
- Changed in 2.0:
- trans() now takes the complex conjugate when transposing a complex matrix
- Forms of
chol(), eig_sym(), eig_gen(),
inv(), lu(), pinv(), princomp(),
qr(), solve(), svd(), syl()
that do not return a bool indicating success now throw std::runtime_error exceptions when failures are detected
- princomp_cov() has been removed; eig_sym() in conjunction with cov() can be used instead
- .is_vec() now outputs true for empty vectors (eg. 0x1)
- set_log_stream() & get_log_stream() have been replaced by set_stream_err1() & get_stream_err1()
- Added in 1.2:
- .min() & .max() member functions of Mat and Cube
- floor() and ceil()
- representation of “not a number”: math::nan()
- representation of infinity: math::inf()
- standalone is_finite()
- .in_range() can use span() arguments
- fixed size matrices and vectors can use auxiliary (external) memory
- submatrices and subfields can be accessed via X( span(a,b), span(c,d) )
- subcubes can be accessed via X( span(a,b), span(c,d), span(e,f) )
- the two argument version of span can be replaced by
span::all or span(), to indicate an entire range
- for cubes, the two argument version of span can be replaced by
a single argument version, span(a), to indicate a single column, row or slice
- arbitrary "flat" subcubes can be interpreted as matrices; for example:
cube Q = randu<cube>(5,3,4);
mat A = Q( span(1), span(1,2), span::all );
// A has a size of 2x4
vec v = ones<vec>(4);
Q( span(1), span(1), span::all ) = v;
- interpretation of matrices as triangular through trimatu() / trimatl()
- explicit handling of triangular matrices by solve() and inv()
- extended syntax for submatrices, including access to elements whose indices are specified in a vector
- ability to change the stream used for logging of errors and warnings
- ability to save/load matrices in raw binary format
- cumulative sum function: cumsum()
Changed in 1.0 (compared to earlier 0.x development versions):
-
the 3 argument version of lu(),
eg. lu(L,U,X),
provides L and U which should be the same as produced by Octave 3.2
(this was not the case in versions prior to 0.9.90)
-
rand() has been replaced by randu();
this has been done to avoid confusion with std::rand(),
which generates random numbers in a different interval
-
In versions earlier than 0.9.0,
some multiplication operations directly converted result matrices with a size of 1x1 into scalars.
This is no longer the case.
If you know the result of an expression will be a 1x1 matrix and wish to treat it as a pure scalar,
use the as_scalar() wrapping function
-
Almost all functions have been placed in the delayed operations framework (for speed purposes).
This may affect code which assumed that the output of some functions was a pure matrix.
The solution is easy, as explained below.
In general, Armadillo queues operations before executing them.
As such, the direct output of an operation or function cannot be assumed to be a directly accessible matrix.
The queued operations are executed when the output needs to be stored in a matrix,
eg. mat B = trans(A) or mat B(trans(A)).
If you need to force the execution of the delayed operations,
place the operation or function inside the corresponding Mat constructor.
For example, if your code assumed that the output of some functions was a pure matrix,
eg. chol(m).diag(), change the code to mat(chol(m)).diag().
Similarly, if you need to pass the result of an operation such as A+B to one of your own functions,
use my_function( mat(A+B) ).
