Matrix.Size Method

Overload List

#SignatureDescription
1function Size(const Src: TMtxVec): TMtxVec;Size the object.
2function Size(const Src: TMtxVec; AComplex: Boolean): TMtxVec;Allows the complex property of the calling object to become of AComplex value instead of Src.Complex value.
3function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer): TMtx;Sets the size of matrix.
4function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer; const aFloatPrecision: TMtxFloatPrecision): TMtx;Specifies size of the matrix.
5function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer; const AComplex: Boolean): TMtx;Sets the size of matrix.
6function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer; const AComplex: Boolean; const aIsDouble: Boolean): TMtx;Sets the size of matrix.
7function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer; const aFloatPrecisionRef: TMtxVec): TMtx;Specifies size of the matrix.

Overload 1: function Size(const Src: TMtxVec): TMtxVec;

Size the object.

#NameTypeDescription
1SrcTMtxVec

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

Assignes the size of the Src object to the calling object. If the calling object is a TVec object then the Src can be of any type, otherwise TMtx can only obtain size from a TMtx object and TSparseMtx can only obtain size from a TSparseMtx object.

If the calling object and Src are of different types, the complex property can be different, if both objects have a matching Matrix.Length property. In this case only the Complex property of the calling object will changed, while all other properties describing the size of the object (rows, cols, length, nonZeros) will be preserved. This is different from simply setting the Complex property. Changing the Complex property directly would also change the Length, Cols and NonZeros properties.

Overload 2: function Size(const Src: TMtxVec; AComplex: Boolean): TMtxVec;

Allows the complex property of the calling object to become of AComplex value instead of Src.Complex value.

#NameTypeDescription
1SrcTMtxVec
2AComplexBoolean

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

It is also possible to pass the calling object as the Src with a different AComplex value. The value of the complex property can be changed without knowing the actual type of the object.

Overload 3: function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer): TMtx;

Sets the size of matrix.

#NameTypeDescription
1ARowsInteger
2AColsInteger

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

Set the calling matrix properties:

Matrix.Rows = ARows, Matrix.Cols = ACols and See cref="Complex"/> = false.

Existing floating point precision is preserved. Calling the Size method does not preserve the contents of the matrix. Use the Resize method, if you want to preserve existing values.

Overload 4: function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer; const aFloatPrecision: TMtxFloatPrecision): TMtx;

Specifies size of the matrix.

#NameTypeDescription
1ARowsInteger
2AColsInteger
3aFloatPrecisionTMtxFloatPrecision

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

Set the following matrix properties:

Matrix.Rows = ARows, Matrix.Cols = ACols and See cref="FloatPrecision"/> = aFloatPrecision.

Calling the Size method does not preserve the contents of the matrix. Use the Resize method, if you want to preserve existing values.

Overload 5: function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer; const AComplex: Boolean): TMtx;

Sets the size of matrix.

#NameTypeDescription
1ARowsInteger
2AColsInteger
3AComplexBoolean

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

Set the calling matrix properties:

Matrix.Rows = ARows, Matrix.Cols = ACols and See cref="Complex"/> = AComplex.

Existing floating point precision is preserved. Calling the Size method does not preserve the contents of the matrix. Use the Resize method, if you want to preserve existing values.

Overload 6: function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer; const AComplex: Boolean; const aIsDouble: Boolean): TMtx;

Sets the size of matrix.

#NameTypeDescription
1ARowsInteger
2AColsInteger
3AComplexBoolean
4aIsDoubleBoolean

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

Set the calling matrix properties:

Matrix.Rows = ARows, Matrix.Cols = ACols and See cref="Complex"/> = AComplex.

Calling the Size method does not preserve the contents of the matrix. Use the Resize method, if you want to preserve existing values.

The floating point precision is defined with aIsDouble.

Note
The Size method performs an out-of-memory safe resize, if the matrix already has memory allocated. This prevents out of memory message for example when redefining the size of the matrix from single column to single row:

A.Rows := 10000; // matrix size = 0
A.Cols := 1;     // matrix size = 10000
// ...
A.Cols := 10000; // matrix size = 100 000 000 (problems here)
A.Rows := 1;     // matrix size = 10 000
Examples
var  A: Matrix;
begin
    A.Size(2,1,True, true); // 2x1 complex double matrix
    A.SetZero;
    // A becomes:
    // [0,0]
    // [0,0]
end;

Overload 7: function Size(const ARows: Integer; const ACols: Integer; const aFloatPrecisionRef: TMtxVec): TMtx;

Specifies size of the matrix.

#NameTypeDescription
1ARowsInteger
2AColsInteger
3aFloatPrecisionRefTMtxVec

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

Set the following matrix properties:

Matrix.Rows = ARows, Matrix.Cols = ACols and See cref="FloatPrecision"/> = aFloatPrecisionRef.FloatPrecision.

Calling the Size method does not preserve the contents of the matrix. Use the Resize method, if you want to preserve existing values.
