DenseMatrix<T>.CloneData Method

Objects derived from Vector<T> or Matrix<T> may share an underlying storage structure. For example, the GetSubmatrix(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32) method of the Matrix<T> class returns a MatrixView<T> that is a view on a part of a matrix. Changing an element in the sub-matrix changes the corresponding element in the original matrix.

This method ensures that this instance has its own copy of the values. After a call to this method, any changes to the elements of this matrix will only affect this instance. Moreover, the elements are guaranteed to be in one contiguous block of memory.

This overload of the CloneData(MatrixElementOrder) method stores elements in ColumnMajor elementOrder.

public void CloneData(
	MatrixElementOrder elementOrder
)

Public Sub CloneData ( 
	elementOrder As MatrixElementOrder
)

public:
void CloneData(
	MatrixElementOrder elementOrder
)

member CloneData : 
        elementOrder : MatrixElementOrder -> unit 

Parameters

elementOrder  MatrixElementOrder

A MatrixElementOrder value that specifies whether to store the elements in column-major or row-major elementOrder.

Objects derived from Vector<T> or Matrix<T> may share an underlying storage structure. For example, the GetSubmatrix(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32) method of the Matrix<T> class returns a MatrixView<T> that is a view on a part of a matrix. Changing an element in the sub-matrix changes the corresponding element in the original matrix.

This method ensures that this instance has its own copy of the values. After a call to this method, any changes to the elements of this matrix will only affect this instance. Moreover, the elements are guaranteed to be in one contiguous block of memory, in the elementOrder specified by the elementOrder parameter.
