Detailed Description

template<class From, class To>
struct RWConvertGenMat< From, To >

Class RWConvertGenMat<From,To> converts between RWGenMat types with different datatypes. It assumes that there is a conversion operator from From to To.

Synopsis

template <class From, class To>
class RWConvertGenMat;

Example

#include <rw/math/genmat.h>

int main()
{
       // create a 2x2 matrix
   RWGenMat<int> d("2x2[1 2 3 4]");

       // convert int matrix d to DComplex
       // matrix c with imag part 0
   RWGenMat<DComplex> c = RWConvertGenMat<int,DComplex>(d);

       // convert int matrix d to a double
       // matrix and then call sin
   RWGenMat<double> s = RWConvertGenMat<int,double>(d);
   s = sin(s);
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class From, class To>

RWConvertGenMat< From, To >::RWConvertGenMat ( const RWGenMat< From > &  v )

inline

Constructs a new matrix of type RWGenMat<To> that can be used anywhere as a type RWGenMat<To> . Note that a temporary matrix is created every time this constructor is invoked, but the conversion operator below can be used repeatedly without creating additional temporary matrices.

Member Function Documentation

template<class From, class To>

RWConvertGenMat< From, To >::operator RWGenMat< To > ( ) const

inline

Automatic conversion operator that enables class RWConvertGenMat<From,To> to be used as an RWGenMat<To> . While the actual conversion takes place in the constructor, this operator provides a reference to that converted matrix.
