Matrix

From Emergent

A matrix is a multidimensional data structure that can hold data items of a single type. You will not generally work directly with matrices in Emergent, but they are used indirectly, for example, they are used as the basis for columns in datatables.

A Matrix has the following attributes:

• geometry
  • the number of dimensions, 1-7
  • the number of elements in each dimension

note that Emergent only supports "regular" (not "jagged") arrays

• data type, one of: Int, Float, Double, String, Byte, or Matrix

for details on the data types, see Tabular data types.

• See Matrix from DataTable for information on how to access/modify Matrix information within DataTable objects.
