 A.1.6 Sparse Matrices in Oct-Files
 ----------------------------------
 
 There are three classes of sparse objects that are of interest to the
 user.
 
 ‘SparseMatrix’
      A double precision sparse matrix class
 
 ‘SparseComplexMatrix’
      A complex sparse matrix class
 
 ‘SparseBoolMatrix’
      A boolean sparse matrix class
 
    All of these classes inherit from the ‘Sparse<T>’ template class, and
 so all have similar capabilities and usage.  The ‘Sparse<T>’ class was
 based on Octave’s ‘Array<T>’ class and users familiar with Octave’s
 ‘Array’ classes will be comfortable with the use of the sparse classes.
 
    The sparse classes will not be entirely described in this section,
 due to their similarity with the existing ‘Array’ classes.  However,
 there are a few differences due the nature of sparse objects, and these
 will be described.  First, although it is fundamentally possible to have
 N-dimensional sparse objects, the Octave sparse classes do not allow
 them at this time; All instances of the sparse classes *must* be
 2-dimensional.  This means that ‘SparseMatrix’ is actually more similar
 to Octave’s ‘Matrix’ class than it is to the ‘NDArray’ class.
