atomicVector-class

The <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/class?package=Matrix&version=1.2-10" data-mini-rdoc="Matrix::class">class</a></code> <code>"atomicVector"</code> is a
 virtual class containing all atomic vector classes of base R,
 as also implicitly defined via <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/is.atomic?package=Matrix&version=1.2-10" data-mini-rdoc="Matrix::is.atomic">is.atomic</a></code>.

Classes and methods for dense and sparse matrices and
operations on them using 'LAPACK' and 'SuiteSparse'.

atomicVector-class function

A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

Objects from the Class

In the Matrix package, the "atomicVector" is used in signatures
 where typically &#8220;old-style&#8221; "matrix" objects can be used and
 can be substituted by simple vectors.

Methods

The atomic classes
 <code>"logical"</code>, <code>"integer"</code>, <code>"double"</code>, <code>"numeric"</code>,
 <code>"complex"</code>, <code>"raw"</code> and <code>"character"</code> are extended
 directly. Note that <code>"numeric"</code> already contains <code>"integer"</code>
 and <code>"double"</code>, but we want all of them to be direct subclasses of
 <code>"atomicVector"</code>.
