imtx<T>::get_flat

Gets a pointer to a flattened, continuous array containing all the members of the matrix

virtual bool get_flat(
   const T*& data
) const;
virtual bool get_flat(
   T*& data
);

Parameters

data

Buffer for a pointer to an array of items.

data

Buffer for a pointer to an array of items.

Return Value

Remarks

This method should set data to the start of an array of T containing all the members of the matrix. The number of items should be the same as the value returned by size(0) * size(1), i.e. the total size of the matrix.

The data should be arranged with the inner dimension continuous, i.e. a 2 x 2 matrix would be arranged as: at(0,0), at(0,1), at(1,0), at(1,1).

If the storage method used by the implementation class does not support this form of operation without rearrangement of data, then the method should return false.
