Range and Slice Storage

Range<SizeType,DistanceType>

Description

The class range specifies a range of indicies. The range is a sequence of indices from a start value to stop value. The indices increase by one and exlude the stop value. range can therefore be used to specify ranges of elements from vectors and matrices.

Example

#include <boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp>

int main () {
    using namespace boost::numeric::ublas;
    range r (0, 3);
    for (unsigned i = 0; i < r.size (); ++ i) {
        std::cout << r (i) << std::endl;
    }
}

Preconditions

start () <= stop ()

Slice<SizeType,DistanceType>

Description

The class slice specifies a 'slice' of indicies. Slices are more general then ranges, the stride allows the sequence of indicies to increase and decrease by the specified amount between element. slice can therefore be used to specify slices of element from vectors and matrices.

Example

#include <boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp>

int main () {
    using namespace boost::numeric::ublas;
    slice s (0, 1, 3);
    for (unsigned i = 0; i < s.size (); ++ i) {
        std::cout << s (i) << std::endl;
    }
}

`slice (size_type start, size_type stride, size_type size)`	Constructs a slice `start,start+stride,start+2*stride...` with `size` elements.
`size_type start () const`	Returns the beginning of the `slice`.
`size_type stride () const`	Returns the stride of the `slice`.
`size_type size () const`	Returns the size of the `slice`.
`const_reference operator [] (size_type i) const`	Returns the value `start + i * stride` of the `i`-th element.
`slice compose (const range &r) const`	Returns the composite slice from `start + stride * r.start ()` to `start + stride * (r.start () + r.size ())` with stride `stride`.
`slice compose (const slice &s) const`	Returns the composite slice from `start + stride * s.start ()` to `start + stride * s.stride () * (s.start () + s.size ())` with stride `stride * s.stride ()` .
`bool operator == (const slice &s) const`	Tests two slices for equality.
`bool operator != (const slice &s) const`	Tests two slices for inequality.
`const_iterator begin () const`	Returns a `const_iterator` pointing to the beginning of the `slice`.
`const_iterator end () const`	Returns a `const_iterator` pointing to the end of the `slice`.
`const_reverse_iterator rbegin () const`	Returns a `const_reverse_iterator` pointing to the beginning of the reversed `slice`.
`const_reverse_iterator rend () const`	Returns a `const_reverse_iterator` pointing to the end of the reversed `slice`.

Preconditions

None all strides are vaild. However when an index is returned or an iterator is dereferenced its value must be representable as the size_type.
