hypermatrices - Scilab object, N dimensional matrices in Scilab
Hypermatrix type allows to manipulate multidimensional arrays
They can be defined by extension of 2D matrices as follows a=[1 2;3 4];a(:,:,2)=rand(2,2)
or directly using hypermat function
Entries can be real or complex numbers, polynomials, rationals, strings, booleans.
Hypermatrices are mlists: mlist(['hm','dims','entries'],sz,v) where sz is the row vector of dimensions and v the column vector of entries (first dimension are stored first)
a(1,1,1,1:2)=[1 2] a=[1 2;3 4];a(:,:,2)=rand(2,2) a(1,1,:) [a a]
