Boost.MultiArray is composed of several components.
The MultiArray concept defines a generic interface to multidimensional
containers.
multi_array is a general purpose container class
that models MultiArray. multi_array_ref
and const_multi_array_ref are adapter
classes. Using them,
you can manipulate any block of contiguous data as though it were a
multi_array.
const_multi_array_ref differs from
multi_array_ref in that its elements cannot
be modified through its interface. Finally, several auxiliary classes are used
to create and specialize arrays and some global objects are defined as
part of the library interface.
To use Boost.MultiArray, you must include the header
boost/multi_array.hpp in your source. This file
brings the following declarations into scope:
namespace boost {
namespace multi_array_types {
typedef *unspecified* index;
typedef *unspecified* size_type;
typedef *unspecified* difference_type;
typedef *unspecified* index_range;
typedef *unspecified* extent_range;
typedef *unspecified* index_gen;
typedef *unspecified* extent_gen;
}
