octave: Using Sparse Matrices in Oct-Files
A.1.6.3 Using Sparse Matrices in Oct-Files
..........................................
Most of the same operators and functions for sparse matrices that are
available from the Octave interpeter are also available within
oct-files. The basic means of extracting a sparse matrix from an
‘octave_value’, and returning it as an ‘octave_value’, can be seen in
the following example.
octave_value_list retval;
SparseMatrix sm = args(0).sparse_matrix_value ();
SparseComplexMatrix scm = args(1).sparse_complex_matrix_value ();
SparseBoolMatrix sbm = args(2).sparse_bool_matrix_value ();
...
retval(2) = sbm;
retval(1) = scm;
retval(0) = sm;
The conversion to an ‘octave_value’ is handled by the sparse
‘octave_value’ constructors, and so no special care is needed.
