Description
Examples
RTableCreateDefault(kv, rts, zero, bounds)
RTableCreateDAG(kv, rts, pdata, bounds)
RTableCreateInteger8(kv, rts, pdata, bounds)
RTableCreateInteger16(kv, rts, pdata, bounds)
RTableCreateInteger32(kv, rts, pdata, bounds)
RTableCreateFloat32(kv, rts, pdata, bounds)
RTableCreateFloat64(kv, rts, pdata, bounds)
RTableCreateComplexDAG(kv, rts, pdata, bounds)
RTableCreateComplex64(kv, rts, pdata, bounds)
kv
-
kernel handle returned by StartMaple
rts
pointer to an RTableSettings structure
pdata
pointer to array data
bounds
array of lower and upper bounds
These functions are part of the OpenMaple interface to Microsoft Visual Basic.
The RTableCreate function creates a new rtable with the settings specified in rts.
When using RTableCreateDefault the pdata must be set to 0. In this case a data block is allocated and initialized to rts.fill. When using the other RTableCreate functions, you must specify a previously created block of data. It is important that rts.foreign is set to TRUE. Size, storage, data_type, order, and indexing functions must all be considered when managing your data block.
The array, bounds is a list of the lower and upper bounds for each dimension of the rtable. For example, a MxN Matrix has bounds[0] = 1; bounds[1] = M; bounds[2] = 1; bounds[3] = N.
The 2-D format of VB Arrays do not match the Maple rtable data-block memory layout, so pdata must be a pointer to a 1-D Array. 2-D can be achieved using a 1-D Array by simple arithmetic on the index.
Note: Matrix and Vector lower bounds must start at 1, not 0.
