This is a list of all matrix operations implemented by Boost QVM -- click on functions for individual documentation. General notes:

  • All functions use SFINAE/enable_if. They are available for any C++ type but only if it has been registered through the mat_traits template.
  • When objects are returned by value their type is deduced either by the deduce_mat template (for unary functions) or the deduce_mat2 template (for binary functions).
  • The type of scalar arguments is deduced independently from the type of the matrix argument, so they are not required to match. Scalar arguments must convert implicitly to the matrix scalar type.
