AlgART matrix: multidimensional array.

Unlike AlgART array, AlgART matrix is a very simple thing. The matrix is just a pair:

  1. a reference to any AlgART array, so-called built-in array of the matrix, that actually stores all matrix elements;
  2. the set of dimensions: a little usual array of integers — long[] dim, describing the sizes of the multidimensional matrix in every dimension.

The product of all dimensions must be equal to the array length. Moreover, the array must be unresizable: so, the array length cannot be changed after creating the matrix.

It is supposed that all matrix elements are stored in the built-in AlgART array. The storing scheme is traditional. For 2D matrix, the matrix element (x,y) is stored at the position y*dim[0]+x of the array (dim[0] is the first matrix dimension: the "width"). For 3D matrix, the matrix element (x,y,z) is stored at the position z*dim[1]*dim[0]+y*dim[0]+x (dim[0] is the x-dimension, dim[1] is the y-dimension). In the common case, the element of n-dimensional matrix with coordinates i0,i1,...,in-1 is stored in the built-in array at the position

in-1dn-2...d1d0 + ... + i2d1d0 + i1d0 + i0,

where dk=dim[k] (k=0,1,...,n-1) is the dimension #k.

There are 3 basic ways to create a new matrix.

  1. You may create a new zero-filled matrix with new allocated array by MemoryModel.newMatrix(Class, Class, long...) method or one of more concrete methods MemoryModel.newByteMatrix(long...), MemoryModel.newShortMatrix(long...), etc.
  2. You may create a matrix view of an existing array with the specified dimension set by Matrices.matrix(Array, long...) method.
  3. You may replace built-in array of the matrix with a new one (with the same length) by matrix(Array) method of the matrix instance; the new matrix instance will be created. It is the basic way to change some properties of the built-in array, for example, to convert it to immutable or copy-on-next-write form.

We do not provide special tools for accessing matrix elements by several indexes, as "getByte(x,y)" or similar methods. But there is the index method, that transforms a set of multidimensional indexes i0, i2, ..., in-1 into the position in the corresponded array, as described above. Also you can get a reference to the built-in array by the array() method. The typical example of access to matrix elements is the following:

 Matrix<UpdatableFloatArray> m = ...;
 m.array().setFloat(m.index(x, y, z), myValue);

There are two important notes concerning usage of matrices.

First, the matrix indexes in all methods (index, dim(n), dim argument in MemoryModel.newMatrix, etc.) are ordered from the lowest index to the highest. Please compare: for numeric matrix m, m.array().getDouble(m.index(15,10)) returns the element #15 of the row #10. However, for usual 2-dimensional Java array, declared as "double[][] a", the same element is accessed as a[10][15]!

Second, the number of indexes in the index method may differ from the number of dimensions (dimCount()). In any case, the returned position in calculated by the formula listed above (in-1dn-2...d1d0 + ... + i2d1d0 + i1d0 + i0), where i0, i2, ..., in-1 are the coordinates passed to the method, and dk is the dimension #k or 1 if k>=dimCount().

In other words, it is supposed that all dimensions "after" the actual number of dimensions are always equal to 1. For example, the one-dimensional matrix with L elements can be interpreted as 2-dimensional Lx1 matrix, or 3-dimensional Lx1x1 one, etc.

The matrix object is immutable, that means that there are no ways to change any dimension or the reference to the built-in AlgART array. But the matrix elements can be modified, if the AlgART array is not immutable. So, the matrix object is thread-safe or thread-compatible in the same situations as the built-in AlgART array: see comments to Array interface.

The generic argument T specifies the type of the built-in AlgART array. Any array type can be declared here, but the contract of this interface requires that the array must be unresizable. So, there are no ways to create a matrix with MutableArray (or its subinterface) as the type argument, alike Matrix<MutableByteArray>: all creation methods throw IllegalArgumentException in this case.

  • Field Details

    • MAX_DIM_COUNT_FOR_SOME_ALGORITHMS

      static final int MAX_DIM_COUNT_FOR_SOME_ALGORITHMS
      Maximal number of dimensions for some complex algorithms or service classes: 9. Most modules process matrices with any number of dimensions, but there are some cases when an algorithm can work only with 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional or n-dimensional matrices with n<=MAX_DIM_COUNT_FOR_SOME_ALGORITHMS. In this package and all known subpackages of net.algart package, the following classes require that the number of dimensions must not be greater than MAX_DIM_COUNT_FOR_SOME_ALGORITHMS:
      • net.algart.matrices.scanning.ConnectedObjectScanner;
      • MatrixInfo.

      Note: the value of this constant (9) is the maximal n so that 3n<32768=215 (39=19683). It can be useful while storing indexes of elements of little 3x3x3x... submatrix (aperture): signed short type is enough in this case.

    • index

      long index(long... coordinates)
      Returns the linear index in the built-in AlgART array of the matrix element with specified coordinates.

      More precisely, index(i0,i1,...,in-1) returns the following value:

      in-1dn-2...d1d0 + ... + i2d1d0 + i1d0 + i0,

      where dk=dim(k). All passed indexes ik must be in ranges 0..dk-1.

      All elements of coordinates array are always used, regardless of the number of matrix dimensions. But the extra elements of coordinates array must be zero, because dk=1 for k>=dimCount().

      Good algorithms processing the matrix should use this method rarely: usually there are more optimal ways to calculate necessary linear index. For example, if you just need to calculate something for all matrix elements, the best way is the following: 

       Array a = m.array();
 for (long disp = 0, n = a.length(); disp < n; disp++)
     // process the element #k of the array
      Parameters:
      coordinates - all coordinates.
      Returns:
      the linear index of the matrix element with specified coordinates.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the passed array is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if the passed array is empty (no coordinates are passed).
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if some coordinate ik is out of range 0..dk-1.

      y - the second coordinate.
      z - the third coordinate.
      Returns:
      z * dimY() * dimX() + y * dimX() + x.
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if x<0, x>=dimX(), y<0, y>=dimX(), z<0 or z>=dimZ().

    • coordinates

      long[] coordinates(long index, long[] result)
      Returns the coordinates in the matrix, corresponding to the given linear index in the built-in AlgART array. This method is reverse to index(long...): for any index, index(coordinates(index, null)) == index.

      The result argument may be null or some array, containing at least dimCount() elements. If the first case, this method allocates new Java array long[dimCount()] for storing coordinates and returns it. In the second case, this method stores the found coordinates in result array and returns it. The returned coordinates are always in ranges 

       0 ≤ result[k] < dim(k)
      Parameters:
      index - the linear index in the built-in AlgART array.
      result - the array where you want to store results; may be null.
      Returns:
      a reference to the result argument, if it is not null, else newly created Java array contains all calculated coordinates.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if result!=null, but result.length<dimCount().
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index<0 or index>=dim(0)*dim(1)*...=array().length().

    • uncheckedIndex

      long uncheckedIndex(long... coordinates)
      An analog of index(long...) method, that does not check, whether the passed coordinates are in the required ranges.

      More precisely, uncheckedIndex(i0,i1,...,in-1) always returns the following value:

      in-1dn-2...d1d0 + ... + i2d1d0 + i1d0 + i0,

      where dk=dim(k).

      All calculations are performed with long type without any overflow checks. All elements of coordinates array are always used, regardless of the number of matrix dimensions. Please remember that dk=dim(k)=1 for k>=dimCount() (extra elements of coordinates array)..

      Parameters:
      coordinates - all coordinates.
      Returns:
      the linear index of the matrix element with specified coordinates, without range checks.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the passed array is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if the passed array is empty (no coordinates are passed).

    • cyclicIndex

      long cyclicIndex(long... coordinates)
      An analog of index(long...) method, that, before all calculations, replaces the passed coordinates with the positive remainders from division of them by the corresponding matrix dimensions.

      More precisely, let i0,i1,...,in-1 are the arguments of the method. Let dk=dim(k) and

      i'k = dk == 0 ? 0 : ik % dk >= 0 ? ik % dk : ik % dk + dk

      This method returns the following value:

      i'n-1dn-2...d1d0 + ... + i'2d1d0 + i'1d0 + i'0,

      In other words, the resulting index is "cyclical".

      All elements of coordinates array are always used, regardless of the number of matrix dimensions. (You can note that extra elements of coordinates array are ignored in fact: the reminders ik%dk=ik%1 will be zero for them.)

      Parameters:
      coordinates - all coordinates.
      Returns:
      the cyclical linear index of the matrix element with specified coordinates, without range checks.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the passed array is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if the passed array is empty (no coordinates are passed).
      See Also:

    • pseudoCyclicIndex

      long pseudoCyclicIndex(long... coordinates)
      An analog of index(long...) method, that does not check, whether the passed coordinates are in the required ranges, but replaces the resulting index with the positive remainder from division of it by the length of the built-in array.

      More precisely, let i0,i1,...,in-1 are the arguments of the method, and index is the following value (as in index(long...) method):

      index = in-1dn-2...d1d0 + ... + i2d1d0 + i1d0 + i0,

      where dk=dim(k). Here we do no require that the passed indexes ik are in ranges 0..dk-1. Then, let len=array().length()=dn-1...d1d0. The result of this method is the following:

      len == 0 ? 0 : index % len >= 0 ? index % len : index % len + len

      (It is in the 0..len-1 range always, excepting the generated case len==0.) In other words, the resulting index is "pseudo-cyclical", as the resulting shift in Matrices.asShifted(Matrix, long...) method.

      All elements of coordinates array are always used, regardless of the number of matrix dimensions. (You can note that extra elements of coordinates array are ignored in fact: they add k*len summand, where k is an integer.)

      Note that all calculations are performed absolutely precisely, even in a case when the direct calculation according the formulas above leads to overflow (because some of values in these formulas are out of Long.MIN_VALUE..Long.MAX_VALUE range).

      Parameters:
      coordinates - all coordinates.
      Returns:
      the pseudo-cyclical linear index of the matrix element with specified coordinates, without range checks.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the passed array is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if the passed array is empty (no coordinates are passed).
      See Also:

    • mirrorCyclicIndex

      long mirrorCyclicIndex(long... coordinates)
      An analog of index(long...) method, that, before all calculations, replaces the passed coordinates with the positive remainders from division of them by the corresponding matrix dimensions or with complement of these remainders on the dimensions, as if the matrix would be reflected in each its bound as in a mirror.

      More precisely, let i0,i1,...,in-1 are the arguments of the method. Let dk=dim(k),

      i'k = dk == 0 ? 0 : ik % dk >= 0 ? ik % dk : ik % dk + dk
      (as in cyclicIndex(long...) and
      i''k = dk == 0 ? 0 : ⌊ik / dk⌋ % 2 == 0 ? i'k : dk − 1 − i'k
      (here ⌊x⌋ means the integer part of x, i.e. Math.floor(x)).

      This method returns the following value:

      i''n-1dn-2...d1d0 + ... + i''2d1d0 + i''1d0 + i''0,

      In other words, the resulting index is "mirroring-cyclical".

      All elements of coordinates array are always used, regardless of the number of matrix dimensions. (You can note that extra elements of coordinates array are ignored in fact: the reminders ik%dk=ik%1 will be zero for them.)

      Parameters:
      coordinates - all coordinates.
      Returns:
      the mirror-cyclical linear index of the matrix element with specified coordinates, without range checks.
      Throws:

      Matrix<T> subMatrix(long[] from, long[] to)
      Returns a view of the rectangular fragment of this matrix between from, inclusive, and to, exclusive.

      More precisely, the returned matrix consists of all elements of this one with coordinates i0, i1, ..., in−1, n=dimCount(), matching the following conditions:

           from[0] <= i0 < to[0],
     from[1] <= i1 < to[1],
     . . .
     from[n-1] <= in-1 < to[n-1]

      So, every dimension dim(k) in the returned matrix will be equal to to[k]-from[k]. The following condition must be fulfilled for all k: 0<=from[k]<=to[k]<=thisMatrix.dim(k). The element type of the returned matrix is identical to the element type of this matrix.

      This method is equivalent to the call subMatrix(from,to,Matrix.ContinuationMode.NONE).

      The built-in AlgART array of the returned matrix is backed by the built-in array of this matrix, so — if this matrix is not immutable — any changes of the elements of the returned matrix are reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa. The returned matrix is immutable if, and only if, the built-in array of this matrix does not implement UpdatableArray. The Array.asTrustedImmutable() method in the built-in array of the returned matrix is equivalent to Array.asImmutable(), and Array.asCopyOnNextWrite() method just returns the full copy of the array.

      Parameters:
      from - low endpoints (inclusive) of all coordinates.
      to - high endpoints (exclusive) of all coordinates.
      Returns:
      a view of the specified rectangular fragment within this matrix.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if from or to argument is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if from.length or to.length is not equal to dimCount().
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if, for some k, from[k]<0 || to[k]>dim(k) || from[k]>to[k].

    • subMatrix

      Matrix<T> subMatrix(long[] from, long[] to, Matrix.ContinuationMode continuationMode)
      An extended analog of subMatrix(long[], long[]) method, allowing to get a rectangular fragment which is not fully inside this matrix.

      More precisely, unlike subMatrix(long[], long[]), here the only requirement for the from and to coordinate boundaries is from[k]<=to[k], but from[k] may be negative and to[k] may be greater than dim(k). (And there is also a trivial obvious requirement to[k]-from[k]≤Long.MAX_VALUE, i.e. that the dimensions of the result must be representable by long type.)

      The elements of the returned matrix, that do not correspond to any elements of this one, i.e. "lie outside" of the source matrix, are considered to be equal to some values, according to some continuation model, described by continuationMode argument. Such "outside" elements can correspond (according some rules) to actual elements of the source elements — then attempts to read them return the values of the corresponding source elements and attempts to write into them modify the corresponding source elements (it is so for Matrix.ContinuationMode.CYCLIC, Matrix.ContinuationMode.PSEUDO_CYCLIC, Matrix.ContinuationMode.MIRROR_CYCLIC modes), — or can be calculated "virtually" (according some rules) — then attempts to read them return the calculated values and attempts to modify them are ignored (it is so for the constant continuation mode). See Matrix.ContinuationMode class for more details.

      Important note: there are two cases, when requirements to the from and to coordinate boundaries are more strong, than described above.

      1. If continuationMode==Matrix.ContinuationMode.NONE, this method is strictly equivalent to more simple subMatrix(long[], long[]) method, so all requirements are the same as for that method.
      2. If continuationMode is Matrix.ContinuationMode.CYCLIC, Matrix.ContinuationMode.PSEUDO_CYCLIC or Matrix.ContinuationMode.MIRROR_CYCLIC (but it is not a constant continuation mode) and some dimension #k of this matrix is zero — dim(k)==0 — then both corresponding coordinate boundaries from[k] and to[k] must be zero (as in subMatrix(long[], long[]) method).
      Parameters:
      from - low endpoints (inclusive) of all coordinates.
      to - high endpoints (exclusive) of all coordinates.
      continuationMode - the mode of continuation outside this matrix.
      Returns:
      a view of the specified rectangular fragment within this matrix.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if from, to or continuationMode argument is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if from.length or to.length is not equal to dimCount().
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - for continuationMode==Matrix.ContinuationMode.NONE — see subMatrix(long[], long[]) method; for other cases — if, for some k, from[k]>to[k] or to[k]-from[k]>Long.MAX_VALUE, or if (for some k) dim(k)==0 and from[k]!=0 || to[k]!=0, or if the product of all differences to[k]-from[k] (i.e. desired total size of the new matrix) is greater than Long.MAX_VALUE.
      ClassCastException - if continuationMode is a constant mode, the continuation constant is not null and the class of this constant is illegal, i.e. cannot be casted to the necessary type according the rules, specified for the constant continuation mode.

    • structureLike

      Matrix<T> structureLike(Matrix<?> m)
      Returns a view ot this matrix, where the elements are reordered in some order "like" in the specified matrix m. In other words, the elements of the built-in array of the returned matrix are the same as the elements of the built-in array of this one (any changes of the elements of the returned matrix are reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa), but the order of the elements can differ. The precise algorithm of reordering is not specified and depends of the matrix m: this method tries to help algorithms, processing the same or similar areas in both matrices, to provide maximal performance.

      This method returns non-trivial results only if the matrix m is already a view of some other matrix with some form of reordering elements, for example, if m is a tiled matrix. In other case, this method just returns this instance.

      In the current version of this package (if this instance was created by means of methods of this package), this method is equivalent to the following: 

       m.isTiled() ?
     thisInstance.tile(m.tileDimensions()) :
     thisInstance;

      In future versions, it is possible that this method will recognize other forms of reordering matrix elements and return non-trivial results for such m matrices.

      Because the precise order of elements of the returning matrix is not specified, we recommend to use this method generally for newly created matrices, for example: 

       memoryModel.newMatrix(UpdatablePArray.class, m).structureLike(m);
      or, more briefly, 
       memoryModel.newStructuredMatrix(UpdatablePArray.class, m);
      Parameters:
      m - some matrix, probably a view of another matrix with reordered elements (for example, tiled).
      Returns:
      a view of this matrix with elements reordered in similar order, or a reference to this instance if m matrix is not reodered or this method does not "know" about the way of that reordering.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if m argument is null.
      See Also:

    • isStructuredLike

      boolean isStructuredLike(Matrix<?> m)
      Returns true if the elements of this matrix is ordered "alike" the elements of the specified matrix m, in terms of structureLike(Matrix) method. "Ordered alike" does not mean that the dimensions of both matrices are equal, or that the details of the structure are the same; it means only that both matrices use similar reordering algorithms.

      More precisely, structureLike(Matrix) method returns this instance if and only if this method returns true.

      In the current version of this package (if this instance was created by means of methods of this package), this method is equivalent to: thisInstance.isTiled()==m.isTiled().

      Parameters:
      m - some matrix, probably a view of another matrix with reordered elements (for example, tiled).
      Returns:
      whether this matrix is reordered alike m.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if m argument is null.

    • tile

      Matrix<T> tile(long... tileDim)
      Returns a view ot this matrix, where the elements are reordered by tiles: a grid of rectangular regions (tiles), the sizes of which are specified by tileDim argument. It means that the elements of the built-in AlgART array of the returned matrix are the elements of the built-in array of this one, but "shuffled" so that all elements of every tile in the returned matrix are located in a continuous block of the built-in array of this matrix. The returned matrix is named tiled matrix. The dimensions of the returned matrix are the same as the dimensions of this one. The element type of the returned matrix is identical to the element type of this matrix.

      More precisely, let this matrix be M and the tiled matrix, returned by this method, be T. Let i0, i1, ..., in−1 (n=dimCount()) be coordinates of some element it the tiled matrix T, that is located in T.array() at the index i=T.index(i0,i1,...,in−1). This element is located in the original array M.array() at another index j, which is calculated by the following algorithm.

      1. Let dk = M.dim(k), k=0,1,...,n−1: dimensions of this and returned matrix.
      2. Let i'k = ik%tileDim[k], k=0,1,...,n−1: i'k are the coordinates of this element inside the tile, containing it in T matrix.
      3. Let sk = ik−i'k, k=0,1,...,n−1: sk are the coordinates of the starting element of the tile, containing this element in T matrix.
      4. Let tk = min(tileDim[k], dk−sk), k=0,1,...,n−1: tk are the dimensions of the tile, containing this element in T matrix. (Note that boundary tiles can be less than tileDim, if dimensions of matrix are not divisible by corresponding dimensions of tiles.)
      5. Let previousVolume = d0d1...dn−3dn−2sn−1 + d0d1...dn−3cn−2tn−1 + ... + s0t1...tn−2tn−1. This complex formula returns the summary sizes of all tiles, that are fully located in the source T.array() before the given element. In 2-dimensional case, the formula is more simple: previousVolume = dxsy + sxty.
      6. Let indexInTile = i'0 + i'1t0 + ... + i'n−1tn−2...t0: it is the index of the element with coordinates i'0,i'1,...,i'n−1 in the built-in array of a little matrix, dimensions of which are equal to the tile dimensions.
      7. The required index of the given element in the original array M.array() is j = previousVolume + indexInTile.

      Tiled matrices are necessary to provide good performance of many algorithms, if this matrix is very large (much greater than amount of RAM) and is located on disk or other external devices. For example, extracting a rectangular area 1000x1000 from a byte matrix 1000000x1000000 (1 terabyte) will probably work much faster if it is tiled, than if it is a usual matrix, where every line occupies 1 MB of continuous disk space.

      In the degenerated case of 1-dimensional matrix (dimCount()=1) the tiled matrix is absolutely useless, though still works correctly.

      Recommended tile dimensions are from several hundreds to several thousands, but it depends on the number of dimensions. If tile dimensions are degrees of two (2k), the tiled matrix will probably work faster.

      The built-in AlgART array of the returned matrix is backed by the built-in array of this matrix, so — if this matrix is not immutable — any changes of the elements of the returned matrix are reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa. The returned matrix is immutable if, and only if, the built-in array of this matrix does not implement UpdatableArray. The Array.asTrustedImmutable() method in the built-in array of the returned matrix is equivalent to Array.asImmutable(), and Array.asCopyOnNextWrite() method just returns the full copy of the array.

      Parameters:
      tileDim - dimensions of the tiles in the returned matrix (excepting the boundary tiles, which can be less).
      Returns:
      a tiled view of this matrix.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if tileDim argument is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if tileDim.length is not equal to dimCount(), or if some tileDim[k]<=0, or if the product of all tile dimensions tileDim[k] is greater than Long.MAX_VALUE.

    • tile

      Matrix<T> tile()
      Returns a tiled view ot this matrix with some default dimensions of the tiles. Equivalent to tile(tileDim), where all elements of tileDim are equal to the default integer value, retrieved from the system property "net.algart.arrays.matrixTile2D", "net.algart.arrays.matrixTile3D" "net.algart.arrays.matrixTile4D" "net.algart.arrays.matrixTile5D" or "net.algart.arrays.matrixTileND", if the number of dimensions of this matrix is correspondingly 2, 3, 4, 5 or greater. If there is no such property, or if it contains not a number, or if some exception occurred while calling Long.getLong, this method uses the following tile dimensions: 4096x4096 in 2-dimensional case, 256x256x256 in 3-dimensional case, 64x64x64x64 in 4-dimensional case, 32x32x32x32x32 in 5-dimensional case, 16x16x... if the number of dimensions is greater than 5. If the corresponding property exists and contains a valid integer number, but it is too small, in particular, zero or negative, then it is replaced with some minimal positive value. The values of all these system property is loaded and checked only once while initializing Arrays class. If the number of dimensions is 1 (degenerated case), this method always uses 65536 as the tile size. (Warning! These defaults can be changed in future versions!)
      Returns:
      a tiled view of this matrix with default tile dimensions.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the product of all tile dimensions tileDim[k] is greater than Long.MAX_VALUE.
