Right now, I just create a new (empty) vector of the desired size...
Just thought I'd ask in case there is an "on-the-fly" method that I am not aware of...

So if you define
v:=stack(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
then
v:submatrix(v,2,7,0,0)
you now have two variables 'v' (both vectors) on the page and if you type
"v=" and then drag it around, you will see the two results depending on
where the "v=" is on the page.
Also, if you have a set of indices 'index' to be used to pull out and
re-order it you can use. you can even convert it to a little programme if
needed.
i:=0;..last(index)
v[i]:=v[(index[i])]
will also do it (I have closed the [] brackets subscripts, shown :=, and the
range ;..
Hope that helps.

Look at the attached file (Mcad v.11)

For manipulating matrices you can use
submatrix - extracting a submatrix from a matrix
append - joining matrices horizontally (must have the same number of rows)
stack - joining matrices vertically (must have the same number of columns)

Sizing up is just adding the new elements.
Sizing down is slightly more difficult. You can use submatrix for that.

Re: [mathcad] resizing a matrix/vector

Author: David G Shaw

Posted: Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:04:58 +0000

Hi Tom,

I have used the functions stack() and augment() from time to time.
stack(,,,,) adds elements, vectors or matrices to the vertical structure of a vector or matrix.
I use stack often to expand an arbitrary vector to get nice round numbers (2^N) for FFTs.
augment(,,,,) adds columns together to widen a matrix or lengthen a transposed vector.
Don't know the equivalent for reducing matrices. You can always delete rows or columns
though.
Help shows:
"
Deleting RowsThis procedure deletes the row containing the selected element together
with an appropriate number of rows below it. "

Hope these might help.

Regards,
David Shaw

Tom,

If you want to expand an array, simply set the values you want for the new
elements. A standard way of creating a vector is to set the largest index
to 0, which returns a vector of all zeros; for many applications this
improves execution speed as Mathcad only has to create the array once,
rather than having to keep bolting new elements on (which can be
time-consuming, particularly for large arrays).
To shrink an array, use the submatrix function, eg if v is your 9-element
vector, then submatrix(v,0,5,0,0) will return a 6-element vector comprising
the first six elements of v
Stuart
Calling convention: submatrix(vector,first_row,last_row,first_col,last_col)

Philip,
I think I understand your point.
Isn't this why one needs to be sure that they haven't accidentally redefined their "variables"
during the course of a calculation (?)
Although, couldn't one argue that the x in F(x) is a "true" variable?
Thanks again...
