\section SimpleExampleFixedSize Simple example with fixed-size matrices and vectors

By fixed-size, we mean that the number of rows and columns are known at compile-time. In this case, Eigen avoids dynamic memory allocation and unroll loops. This is useful for very small sizes (typically up to 4x4).

<table class="tutorial_code"><tr><td>
\include Tutorial_simple_example_fixed_size.cpp
</td>
<td>
output:
\include Tutorial_simple_example_fixed_size.out
</td></tr></table>

<a href="#" class="top">top</a>\section SimpleExampleDynamicSize Simple example with dynamic-size matrices and vectors

Dynamic-size means that the number of rows and columns are not known at compile-time. In this case, they are stored as runtime variables and the arrays are dynamically allocated.

<table class="tutorial_code"><tr><td>
\include Tutorial_simple_example_dynamic_size.cpp
</td>
<td>
output:
\include Tutorial_simple_example_dynamic_size.out
</td></tr></table>






<a href="#" class="top">top</a>\section MatrixTypes Matrix and vector types

In Eigen, all kinds of dense matrices and vectors are represented by the template class Matrix. In most cases you can simply use one of the \ref matrixtypedefs "several convenient typedefs".

The template class Matrix takes a number of template parameters, but for now it is enough to understand the 3 first ones (and the others can then be left unspecified):

\code Matrix<Scalar, RowsAtCompileTime, ColsAtCompileTime> \endcode

\li \c Scalar is the scalar type, i.e. the type of the coefficients. That is, if you want a vector of floats, choose \c float here.
\li \c RowsAtCompileTime and \c ColsAtCompileTime are the number of rows and columns of the matrix as known at compile-time. 

For example, \c Vector3d is a typedef for \code Matrix<double, 3, 1> \endcode

What if the matrix has dynamic-size i.e. the number of rows or cols isn't known at compile-time? Then use the special value Eigen::Dynamic. For example, \c VectorXd is a typedef for \code Matrix<double, Dynamic, 1> \endcode





<a href="#" class="top">top</a>\section MatrixInitialization Matrix and vector creation and initialization

Eigen offers several methods to create or set matrices with coefficients equals to either a constant value, the identity matrix or even random values:
<table class="tutorial_code">
<tr>
  <td>Fixed-size matrix or vector</td>
  <td>Dynamic-size matrix</td>
  <td>Dynamic-size vector</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>
\code
Matrix3f x;

x = Matrix3f::Zero();
x = Matrix3f::Ones();
x = Matrix3f::Constant(value);
x = Matrix3f::Identity();
x = Matrix3f::Random();

x.setZero();
x.setOnes();
x.setIdentity();
x.setConstant(value);
x.setRandom();
\endcode
  </td>
  <td>
\code
MatrixXf x;

x = MatrixXf::Zero(rows, cols);
x = MatrixXf::Ones(rows, cols);
x = MatrixXf::Constant(rows, cols, value);
x = MatrixXf::Identity(rows, cols);
x = MatrixXf::Random(rows, cols);

x.setZero(rows, cols);
x.setOnes(rows, cols);
x.setConstant(rows, cols, value);
x.setIdentity(rows, cols);
x.setRandom(rows, cols);
\endcode
  </td>
  <td>
\code
VectorXf x;

x = VectorXf::Zero(size);
x = VectorXf::Ones(size);
x = VectorXf::Constant(size, value);
x = VectorXf::Identity(size);
x = VectorXf::Random(size);

x.setZero(size);
x.setOnes(size);
x.setConstant(size, value);
x.setIdentity(size);
x.setRandom(size);
\endcode
  </td>
</tr>
</table>

Here is an usage example:
<table class="tutorial_code"><tr><td>
\code
cout << MatrixXf::Constant(2, 3, sqrt(2)) << endl;
RowVector3i v;
v.setConstant(6);
cout << "v = " << v << endl;
\endcode
</td>
<td>
output:
\code
1.41 1.41 1.41
1.41 1.41 1.41

v = 6 6 6
\endcode
</td></tr></table>

Eigen also offer a comma initializer syntax which allows to set all the coefficients of a matrix to specific values:
<table class="tutorial_code"><tr><td>
\include Tutorial_commainit_01.cpp
</td>
<td>
output:
\verbinclude Tutorial_commainit_01.out
</td></tr></table>

Feel the above example boring ? Look at the following example where the matrix is set per block:
<table class="tutorial_code"><tr><td>
\include Tutorial_commainit_02.cpp
</td>
<td>
output:
\verbinclude Tutorial_commainit_02.out
</td></tr></table>

<p class="note">\b Side \b note: here .finished() is used to get the actual matrix object once the comma initialization
of our temporary submatrix is done. Note that despite the appearant complexity of such an expression
Eigen's comma initializer usually yields to very optimized code without any overhead.</p>






<a href="#" class="top">top</a>\section BasicLinearAlgebra Basic Linear Algebra

In short all mathematically well defined operators can be used right away as in the following example:
\code
mat4 -= mat1*1.5 + mat2 * mat3/4;
\endcode
which includes two matrix scalar products ("mat1*1.5" and "mat3/4"), a matrix-matrix product ("mat2 * mat3/4"),
a matrix addition ("+") and substraction with assignment ("-=").

<table class="tutorial_code">
<tr><td>
matrix/vector product</td><td>\code
col2 = mat1 * col1;
row2 = row1 * mat1;     row1 *= mat1;
mat3 = mat1 * mat2;     mat3 *= mat1; \endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
add/subtract</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1 + mat2;      mat3 += mat1;
mat3 = mat1 - mat2;      mat3 -= mat1;\endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
scalar product</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1 * s1;   mat3 = s1 * mat1;   mat3 *= s1;
mat3 = mat1 / s1;   mat3 /= s1;\endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
\link MatrixBase::dot() dot product \endlink (inner product)</td><td>\code
scalar = vec1.dot(vec2);\endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
outer product</td><td>\code
mat = vec1 * vec2.transpose();\endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
\link MatrixBase::cross() cross product \endcode</td><td>\code
#include <Eigen/Geometry>
vec3 = vec1.cross(vec2);\endcode</td></tr>
</table>


In Eigen only mathematically well defined operators can be used right away,
but don't worry, thanks to the \link Cwise .cwise() \endlink operator prefix,
Eigen's matrices also provide a very powerful numerical container supporting
most common coefficient wise operators:
<table class="noborder">
<tr><td>
<table class="tutorial_code" style="margin-right:10pt">
<tr><td>Coefficient wise product</td>
<td>\code mat3 = mat1.cwise() * mat2; \endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
Add a scalar to all coefficients</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1.cwise() + scalar;
mat3.cwise() += scalar;
mat3.cwise() -= scalar;
\endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
Coefficient wise division</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1.cwise() / mat2; \endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
Coefficient wise reciprocal</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1.cwise().inverse(); \endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
Coefficient wise comparisons \n
(support all operators)</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1.cwise() < mat2;
mat3 = mat1.cwise() <= mat2;
mat3 = mat1.cwise() > mat2;
etc.
\endcode
</td></tr></table>
</td>
<td><table class="tutorial_code">
<tr><td>
Trigo:\n sin, cos, tan</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1.cwise().sin();
etc.
\endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
Power:\n pow, square, cube,\n sqrt, exp, log</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1.cwise().square();
mat3 = mat1.cwise().pow(5);
mat3 = mat1.cwise().log();
etc.
\endcode
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
min, max, absolute value</td><td>\code
mat3 = mat1.cwise().min(mat2);
mat3 = mat1.cwise().max(mat2);
mat3 = mat1.cwise().abs(mat2);
mat3 = mat1.cwise().abs2(mat2);
\endcode</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table>

<p class="note">\b Side \b note: If you feel the \c .cwise() syntax is too verbose for your taste and don't bother to have non mathematical operator directly available feel free to extend MatrixBase as described \ref ExtendingMatrixBase "here".</p>




<a href="#" class="top">top</a>\section Reductions Reductions

Eigen provides several several reduction methods such as:
\link Cwise::minCoeff() minCoeff() \endlink, \link Cwise::maxCoeff() maxCoeff() \endlink,
\link Cwise::sum() sum() \endlink, \link Cwise::trace() trace() \endlink,
\link Cwise::norm() norm() \endlink, \link Cwise::norm2() norm2() \endlink,
\link Cwise::all() all() \endlink,and \link Cwise::any() any() \endlink.
All reduction operations can be done matrix-wise,
\link MatrixBase::colwise() column-wise \endlink or
\link MatrixBase::rowwise() row-wise \endlink. Usage example:
<table class="tutorial_code">
<tr><td rowspan="3" style="border-right-style:dashed">\code
      5 3 1
mat = 2 7 8
      9 4 6 \endcode
</td> <td>\code mat.minCoeff(); \endcode</td><td>\code 1 \endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>\code mat.colwise().minCoeff(); \endcode</td><td>\code 2 3 1 \endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>\code mat.rowwise().minCoeff(); \endcode</td><td>\code
1
2
4
\endcode</td></tr>
</table>

<p class="note">\b Side \b note: The all() and any() functions are especially useful in combinaison with coeff-wise comparison operators (\ref CwiseAll "example").</p>
