\section QuickRef_Headers Modules and Header files

The Eigen library is divided in a Core module and several additional modules. Each module has a corresponding header file which has to be included in order to use the module. The \c %Dense and \c Eigen header files are provided to conveniently gain access to several modules at once.

<table class="manual">

\section QuickRef_Types Array, matrix and vector types


\b Recall: Eigen provides two kinds of dense objects: mathematical matrices and vectors which are both represented by the template class Matrix, and general 1D and 2D arrays represented by the template class Array:
\code
typedef Matrix<Scalar, RowsAtCompileTime, ColsAtCompileTime, Options> MyMatrixType;
typedef Array<Scalar, RowsAtCompileTime, ColsAtCompileTime, Options> MyArrayType;
\endcode

\li \c Scalar is the scalar type of the coefficients (e.g., \c float, \c double, \c bool, \c int, etc.).
\li \c RowsAtCompileTime and \c ColsAtCompileTime are the number of rows and columns of the matrix as known at compile-time or \c Dynamic.
\li \c Options can be \c ColMajor or \c RowMajor, default is \c ColMajor. (see class Matrix for more options)

All combinations are allowed: you can have a matrix with a fixed number of rows and a dynamic number of columns, etc. The following are all valid:
\code
Matrix<double, 6, Dynamic>                  // Dynamic number of columns (heap allocation)
Matrix<double, Dynamic, 2>                  // Dynamic number of rows (heap allocation)
Matrix<double, Dynamic, Dynamic, RowMajor>  // Fully dynamic, row major (heap allocation)
Matrix<double, 13, 3>                       // Fully fixed (usually allocated on stack)
\endcode

In most cases, you can simply use one of the convenience typedefs for \ref matrixtypedefs "matrices" and \ref arraytypedefs "arrays". Some examples:
<table class="example">
<tr><th>Matrices</th><th>Arrays</th></tr>
<tr><td>\code
Matrix<float,Dynamic,Dynamic>   <=>   MatrixXf
Matrix<double,Dynamic,1>        <=>   VectorXd
Matrix<int,1,Dynamic>           <=>   RowVectorXi
Matrix<float,3,3>               <=>   Matrix3f
Matrix<float,4,1>               <=>   Vector4f
\endcode</td><td>\code
Array<float,Dynamic,Dynamic>    <=>   ArrayXXf
Array<double,Dynamic,1>         <=>   ArrayXd
Array<int,1,Dynamic>            <=>   RowArrayXi
Array<float,3,3>                <=>   Array33f
Array<float,4,1>                <=>   Array4f
\endcode</td></tr>
</table>

Conversion between the matrix and array worlds:
\code
Array44f a1, a1;
Matrix4f m1, m2;
m1 = a1 * a2;                     // coeffwise product, implicit conversion from array to matrix.
a1 = m1 * m2;                     // matrix product, implicit conversion from matrix to array.
a2 = a1 + m1.array();             // mixing array and matrix is forbidden
m2 = a1.matrix() + m1;            // and explicit conversion is required.
ArrayWrapper<Matrix4f> m1a(m1);   // m1a is an alias for m1.array(), they share the same coefficients
MatrixWrapper<Array44f> a1m(a1);
\endcode

In the rest of this document we will use the following symbols to emphasize the features which are specifics to a given kind of object:
\li <a name="matrixonly"></a>\matrixworld linear algebra matrix and vector only
\li <a name="arrayonly"></a>\arrayworld array objects only

Eigen provides several reduction methods such as:

\link DenseBase::sum() sum() \endlink, \link DenseBase::prod() prod() \endlink,

\link MatrixBase::norm() norm() \endlink \matrixworld, \link MatrixBase::squaredNorm() squaredNorm() \endlink \matrixworld,
\link DenseBase::all() all() \endlink, and \link DenseBase::any() any() \endlink.
All reduction operations can be done matrix-wise,
\link DenseBase::colwise() column-wise \endlink or
\link DenseBase::rowwise() row-wise \endlink. Usage example:
<table class="manual">
<tr><td rowspan="3" style="border-right-style:dashed;vertical-align:middle">\code
      5 3 1

<tr style="vertical-align:middle"><td>\code mat.rowwise().minCoeff(); \endcode</td><td>\code

</table>

Special versions of \link DenseBase::minCoeff(IndexType*,IndexType*) const minCoeff \endlink and \link DenseBase::maxCoeff(IndexType*,IndexType*) const maxCoeff \endlink:
\code
int i, j;
s = vector.minCoeff(&i);        // s == vector[i]
s = matrix.maxCoeff(&i, &j);    // s == matrix(i,j)
\endcode
Typical use cases of all() and any():
\code
if((array1 > 0).all()) ...      // if all coefficients of array1 are greater than 0 ...
if((array1 < array2).any()) ... // if there exist a pair i,j such that array1(i,j) < array2(i,j) ...

TriangularView gives a view on a triangular part of a dense matrix and allows to perform optimized operations on it. The opposite triangular part is never referenced and can be used to store other information.

object of a type that depends on a template parameter; see \ref TopicTemplateKeyword for details.

\subsection QuickRef_SelfadjointMatrix Symmetric/selfadjoint views

Just as for triangular matrix, you can reference any triangular part of a square matrix to see it as a selfadjoint
matrix and perform special and optimized operations. Again the opposite triangular part is never referenced and can be
used to store other information.

\note The .selfadjointView() template member function requires the \c template keyword if it is used on an
object of a type that depends on a template parameter; see \ref TopicTemplateKeyword for details.
