In this case, M is // sized at runtime and can therefore be resized later by calling M.set_size(). matrix<double> M(3,3); // You may be wondering why someone would want to specify the size of a // matrix at compile time when you don't have to. The reason is two fold. // First, there is often a substantial performance improvement, especially // for small matrices, because it enables a number of optimizations that // otherwise would be impossible. Second, the dlib::matrix object checks // these compile time sizes to ensure that the matrices are being used // correctly. For example, if you attempt to compile the expression y*y you // will get a compiler error since that is not a legal matrix operation (the // matrix dimensions don't make sense as a matrix multiplication). So if // you know the size of a matrix at compile time then it is always a good // idea to let the compiler know about it. // Now we need to initialize the y and M matrices and we can do so like this: M = 54.2, 7.4, 12.1, 1, 2, 3, 5.9, 0.05, 1; y = 3.5, 1.2, 7.8; // The solution to y = M*x can be obtained by multiplying the inverse of M // with y. As an aside, you should *NEVER* use the auto keyword to capture // the output from a matrix expression. So don't do this: auto x = inv(M)*y; // To understand why, read the matrix_expressions_ex.cpp example program. matrix<double> x = inv(M)*y; cout << "x: \n" << x << endl; // We can check that it really worked by plugging x back into the original equation // and subtracting y to see if we get a column vector with values all very close // to zero (Which is what happens. Also, the values may not be exactly zero because // there may be some numerical error and round off). cout << "M*x - y: \n" << M*x - y << endl; // Also note that we can create run-time sized column or row vectors like so matrix<double,0,1> runtime_sized_column_vector; matrix<double,1,0> runtime_sized_row_vector; // and then they are sized by saying runtime_sized_column_vector.set_size(3); // Similarly, the x matrix can be resized by calling set_size(num rows, num columns). For example x.set_size(3,4); // x now has 3 rows and 4 columns. // The elements of a matrix are accessed using the () operator like so: cout << M(0,1) << endl; // The above expression prints out the value 7.4. That is, the value of // the element at row 0 and column 1. // If we have a matrix that is a row or column vector. That is, it contains either // a single row or a single column then we know that any access is always either // to row 0 or column 0 so we can omit that 0 and use the following syntax. cout << y(1) << endl; // The above expression prints out the value 1.2 // Let's compute the sum of elements in the M matrix. double M_sum = 0; // loop over all the rows for (long r = 0; r < M.nr(); ++r) { // loop over all the columns for (long c = 0; c < M.nc(); ++c) { M_sum += M(r,c); } } cout << "sum of all elements in M is " << M_sum << endl; // The above code is just to show you how to loop over the elements of a matrix. An // easier way to find this sum is to do the following: cout << "sum of all elements in M is " << sum(M) << endl; // Note that you can always print a matrix to an output stream by saying: cout << M << endl; // which will print: // 54.2 7.4 12.1 // 1 2 3 // 5.9 0.05 1 // However, if you want to print using comma separators instead of spaces you can say: cout << csv << M << endl; // and you will instead get this as output: // 54.2, 7.4, 12.1 // 1, 2, 3 // 5.9, 0.05, 1 // Conversely, you can also read in a matrix that uses either space, tab, or comma // separated values by uncommenting the following: // cin >> M; // ----------------------------- Comparison with MATLAB ------------------------------ // Here I list a set of Matlab commands and their equivalent expressions using the dlib // matrix.
