atomicVector-class

The <code><a href="/link/class?package=Matrix&version=0.999375-42" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="Matrix::class">class</a></code> <code>"atomicVector"</code> is a
  <em>virtual</em> class containing all atomic vector classes of base R,
  as also implicitly defined via <code><a href="/link/is.atomic?package=Matrix&version=0.999375-42" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="Matrix::is.atomic">is.atomic</a></code>.

Classes and methods for dense and sparse matrices and
        operations on them using Lapack and SuiteSparse.

atomicVector-class function

A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

Objects from the Class

In the <pkg>Matrix</pkg> package, the "atomicVector" is used in signatures
  where typically <dquote>old-style</dquote> "matrix" objects can be used and
  can be substituted by simple vectors.

Methods

The atomic classes
  <code>"logical"</code>, <code>"integer"</code>, <code>"double"</code>, <code>"numeric"</code>,
  <code>"complex"</code>, <code>"raw"</code> and <code>"character"</code> are extended
  directly.  Note that <code>"numeric"</code> already contains <code>"integer"</code>
  and <code>"double"</code>, but we want all of them to be direct subclasses of
  <code>"atomicVector"</code>.
