An S4 class to represent a logical matrix.
When a matrix is first created, an identifier is generated (UUID v4). This ID is preserved when coercing to another class. Thus, the object ID is unique within the same class, but two objects of different classes can have the same ID. This makes it possible to identify objects representing the same initial data and associate them with the results of specific computations.
In the code snippets below, x is a *Matrix object.
get_id(x)Get the ID of x.
get_dates(x) and set_dates(x) <- valueGet or set
the dates of x.
get_coordinates(x) and set_coordinates(x) <- valueGet
or set the geographical coordinates of x.
In the code snippets below, x is a *Matrix object.
dim(x)Returns the dimension of x.
nrow(x)Returns the number of rows present in x.
ncol(x)Returns the number of columns present in x.
dimnames(x), dimnames(x) <- valueRetrieves or sets
the row dimnames of x according to value.
rownames(x), rownames(x) <- valueRetrieves or sets
the row names of x according to value.
colnames(x), colnames(x) <- valueRetrieves or sets
the column names of x according to value.
In the code snippets below, x is a *Matrix object.
x[i, j]Extracts elements selected by subscripts i
and j. Indices are numeric, integer or
character vectors or empty (missing) or NULL.
Numeric values are coerced to integer as by
as.integer (and hence truncated towards zero).
Character vectors will be matched to the name of the elements.
An empty index (a comma separated blank) indicates that all
entries in that dimension are selected.
Returns an object of the same class as x.
x[[i]]Extracts a single element selected by subscript
i.
