pymel.util.MatrixN

class MatrixN(*args, **kwargs)

A generic size MatrixN class, basically a 2 dimensional Array.

Most methods and behavior are herited from Array, with the limitation that a MatrixN must have exactly 2 dimensions.

>>> M = MatrixN()
>>> M
MatrixN([[]])
>>> M = MatrixN([])
>>> M
MatrixN([[]])
>>> M = MatrixN([0, 1, 2])
>>> print M.formated()
[[0, 1, 2]]
>>> M = MatrixN([[0, 1, 2]])
>>> print M.formated()
[[0, 1, 2]]
>>> M = MatrixN([[0], [1], [2]])
>>> print M.formated()
[[0],
 [1],
 [2]]
>>> M = MatrixN([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6]]
>>> M = MatrixN(range(4), shape=(2, 2))
>>> print M.formated()
[[0, 1],
 [2, 3]]

The MatrixN class has a constant ndim of 2

>>> MatrixN.ndim
2
>>> M.ndim
2
>>> MatrixN.ndim = 3
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AttributeError: attribute ndim is a read only class attribute and cannot be modified on class MatrixN
>>> M.ndim = 3
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AttributeError: 'MatrixN' object attribute 'ndim' is read-only

It’s protected against initialization or resizing to a shape that wouldn’t be a MatrixN anymore

>>> M = MatrixN([[[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5]], [[6, 7, 8], [9, 10, 11]]])
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: cannot initialize a MatrixN of shape (2, 6) from [[[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5]], [[6, 7, 8], [9, 10, 11]]] of shape (2, 2, 3),
as it would truncate data or reduce the number of dimensions

>>> M.resize((2, 2, 3))
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: new shape (2, 2, 3) is not compatible with class MatrixN

Other Array types can be cast to MatrixN, but truncating data or reducing dimensions is not allowed to avoid silent loss of data in a conversion, use an explicit resize / trim / sub-array extraction

>>> A = Array(range(9), shape=(3, 3))
>>> M = MatrixN(A)
>>> print M.formated()
[[0, 1, 2],
 [3, 4, 5],
 [6, 7, 8]]
>>> print clsname(M)
MatrixN
>>> A = Array([[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], [[10, 20, 30], [40, 50, 60]]])
>>> M = MatrixN(A)
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: cannot cast a Array of shape (2, 2, 3) to a MatrixN of shape (2, 6),
as it would truncate data or reduce the number of dimensions

When initializing from a 1-d Array like a VectorN, dimension is upped to 2 by making it a row

>>> V = VectorN(1, 2, 3)
>>> M = MatrixN(V)
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3]]

Internally, rows are stored as Array though, not VectorN

>>> M[0]
Array([1, 2, 3])

As for Array, __init__ is a shallow copy

>>> A = Array(range(9), shape=(3, 3))
>>> M = MatrixN(A)
>>> M == A
False
>>> M is A
False
>>> M.isEquivalent(A)
True
>>> M[0] == A[0]
True
>>> M[0] is A[0]
True

The inverse MatrixN

adjugate()

m.adjugate() –> MatrixN

Returns the adjugate MatrixN of the square MatrixN m : the MatrixN of the cofactors of m. It’s a square MatrixN of same size as m, where a component of index (i, j) is set to the value of m.cofactor(i, j).

>>> M = MatrixN([ [100/(i+j) for i in xrange(1,5)] for j in xrange(4) ])
>>> print M.formated()
[[100, 50, 33, 25],
 [50, 33, 25, 20],
 [33, 25, 20, 16],
 [25, 20, 16, 14]]
>>> print M[:1, :1].adjugate().formated()
[[1]]
>>> print M[:2, :2].adjugate().formated()
[[33, -50],
 [-50, 100]]
>>> print M[:3, :3].adjugate().formated()
[[35, -175, 161],
 [-175, 911, -850],
 [161, -850, 800]]
>>> print M[:4, :4].adjugate().formated()
[[42, -210, 154, 49],
 [-210, 1054, -775, -245],
 [154, -775, 575, 175],
 [49, -245, 175, 63]]

classmethod basis(u, v, normalize=False)

MatrixN.basis(u, v[, normalize=False]) –> MatrixN

Returns the basis MatrixN built using u, v and u^v as coordinate axis, The a, b, n vectors are recomputed to obtain an orthogonal coordinate system as follows:

n = u ^ v v = n ^ u

if the normalize keyword argument is set to True, the vectors are also normalized

>>> M = MatrixN.basis(VectorN(0, 1, 0), VectorN(0, 0, 1))
>>> print M.formated()
[[0, 0, 1],
 [1, 0, 0],
 [0, 1, 0]]

cofactor(i, j)

m.cofactor(i, j) –> float

Returns the cofactor of matrix m for index (i, j), the determinant of the MatrixN obtained by deleting row i and column j from m (the minor), signed by (-1)**(i+j).

>>> M = MatrixN(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]
>>> print M.minor(2, 2).formated()
[[1, 2],
 [4, 5]]
>>> M.minor(2, 2).det()
-3
>>> M.cofactor(2, 2)
-3
>>> print M.minor(0, 1).formated()
[[4, 6],
 [7, 9]]
>>> M.minor(0, 1).det()
-6
>>> M.cofactor(0, 1)
6

col

m.col –> ArrayIter

Iterator on the MatrixN columns Being an ArrayIter, it support __len__, __getitem__, __setitem__ and __delitem__

>>> M = MatrixN(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> M.nrow, M.ncol = 4, 4
>>> M[-1, -1] = 1
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1]]
>>> [c for c in M.col]
[Array([1, 4, 7, 0]), Array([2, 5, 8, 0]), Array([3, 6, 9, 0]), Array([0, 0, 0, 1])]

The col iterator has to rebuild sub-arrays and thus returns copies and not references.

>>> c = M.col[0]
>>> c
Array([1, 4, 7, 0])
>>> c == M[:,0]
True
>>> c is M[:,0]
False

Multiple columns are returned as rows in a new MatrixN

>>> c = M.col[:2]
>>> print c.formated()
[[1, 4, 7, 0],
 [2, 5, 8, 0]]
>>> print clsname(c)
MatrixN

>>> s = M[:,:2]
>>> print s.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [4, 5],
 [7, 8],
 [0, 0]]
>>> print clsname(s)
MatrixN

TODO : is it what we want ? If so invert these

# >>> c == s # True # >>> c == s.T # False

Results can be indexed again, using Array indexing or MatrixN methods wether they’re returned as Array (single lines / columns) or MatrixN (2 dimensionnal Array).

>>> r = c.row[1]
>>> r
Array([2, 5, 8, 0])
>>> r = s.row[1]
>>> r
Array([4, 5])

Multiple indexing is possible

>>> M[0, 1]
2
>>> M.col[1][0]
2
>>> M.col[1, 0]
2

As results are rebuilt Arrays, values can only b set for full columns

>>> M.col[1]
Array([2, 5, 8, 0])

This won’t work :

>>> M.col[1][:2] = 10
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1]]

But this will :

>>> M.col[1, :2] = 10
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 10, 3, 0],
 [4, 10, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1]]

>>> c = M.col[1]
>>> c[:2] = [2, 5]
>>> M.col[1] = c
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1]]

Columns can be deleted too

>>> del M.col[-1]
>>> del M[-1]
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]

det() <==> det(m)

Returns the determinant of m, 0 if MatrixN is singular.

>>> M = MatrixN([ [100/(i+j) for i in xrange(1,7)] for j in xrange(6) ])
>>> print M.formated()
[[100, 50, 33, 25, 20, 16],
 [50, 33, 25, 20, 16, 14],
 [33, 25, 20, 16, 14, 12],
 [25, 20, 16, 14, 12, 11],
 [20, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10],
 [16, 14, 12, 11, 10, 9]]
>>> M[:1, :1].det()
100
>>> M[:2, :2].det()
800
>>> M[:3, :3].det()
63
>>> M[:4, :4].det()
7
>>> M[:5, :5].det()
-1199
>>> M[:6, :6].det()
452.0

>>> M = MatrixN(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]
>>> M.det()
0

diagonal([offset=0[, wrap=False]]) → Array

Returns the diagonal of the MatrixN with the given offset, i.e., the collection of elements of the form a[i,i+offset]. If keyword wrap=True will wrap out of bounds indices

Examples :

>>> M = MatrixN([[1, 2], [4, 6]])
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [4, 6]]
>>> M.diagonal()
Array([1, 6])
>>> M.diagonal(1)
Array([2])
>>> M.diagonal(1, wrap=True)
Array([2, 4])
>>> M.diagonal(-1)
Array([2, 4])
>>> M.diagonal(-1, wrap=True)
Array([2, 4])

gauss()

m.gauss() –> MatrixN

Returns the triangular matrix obtained by Gauss-Jordan elimination on m, will raise a ZeroDivisionError if m cannot be triangulated.

rinverse()

m.rinverse() –> MatrixN

Returns the right inverse matrix of m, the matrix n so that m * n = identity, if m is right-invertible, otherwise will raise a ValueError. If m is invertible then the right inverse of m is also it’s left inverse, and it’s inverse matrix.

>>> M = MatrixN([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6]]
>>> print round(M.rinverse(), 2).formated()
[[-0.94, 0.44],
 [-0.11, 0.11],
 [0.72, -0.22]]

row

m.row –> ArrayIter

Iterator on the MatrixN rows. Being an ArrayIter, it support __len__, __getitem__, __setitem__ and __delitem__

>>> M = MatrixN(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> M.nrow, M.ncol = 4, 4
>>> M[-1, -1] = 1
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1]]
>>> [r for r in M.row]
[Array([1, 2, 3, 0]), Array([4, 5, 6, 0]), Array([7, 8, 9, 0]), Array([0, 0, 0, 1])]

The row iterator indexing works like the MatrixN indexing and returns references.

>>> r = M.row[0]
>>> r
Array([1, 2, 3, 0])
>>> r == M[0]
True
>>> r is M[0]
True

Slices return shallow copies though

>>> r = M.row[:2]
>>> print r.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0]]
>>> print clsname(r)
MatrixN

>>> r == M[:2]
True
>>> r is M[:2]
False
>>> r[0] == M[0]
True
>>> r[0] is M[0]
True

Results can be indexed again, using Array indexing or MatrixN methods wether they’re returned as Array (single lines / columns) or MatrixN (2 dimensionnal Array).

>>> c = r.col[1]
>>> c
Array([2, 5])

Multiple indexing is possible

>>> M[0, 1]
2
>>> M.row[0][1]
2
>>> M.row[0, 1]
2

Values can be set as with MatrixN indexing

>>> M.row[:2, 1] = 10
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 10, 3, 0],
 [4, 10, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1]]
>>> r = M.row[:2]
>>> r[:, 1] = [2, 5]
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1]]

Rows can be deleted too

>>> del M.row[-1]
>>> del M[None, -1]
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]

shape

m.shape : tuple of two ints

Shape of the MatrixN, the (nrow, ncol) tuple.

It can be queried, or set to change the MatrixN’s shape similarly to the reshape method.

>>> M = MatrixN(range(1, 17), shape=(4, 4))
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 4],
 [5, 6, 7, 8],
 [9, 10, 11, 12],
 [13, 14, 15, 16]]
>>> M.shape=(2, 8)
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8],
 [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]]
>>> M.shape=(2, 2, 4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: new shape (2, 2, 4) is not compatible with class MatrixN

size

Total size of the MatrixN (number of individual components), ie nrow*ncol

trace([offset=0[, wrap=False]]) → float

Returns the sum of the components on the diagonal, obtained by calling m.diagonal(offset, wrap).

>>> M = MatrixN([[1, 2], [4, 6]])
>>> print M.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [4, 6]]
>>> M.trace()
7
>>> M.trace(offset=1)
2
>>> M.trace(offset=1, wrap=True)
6
>>> M.trace(offset=-1)
6
>>> M.trace(offset=-1, wrap=True)
6
