Create a multidimentional array inlet field
2d matrices (and 3d) are common in physics simulations. The current way I represent a 2d array is like this in lua:
-- A struct that contains two arrays of doubles: row1 and row2
kappa = {
row1 = [1.0, 0.0],
row2 = [0.0, 2.0]
}
It would be more natural so allow something like this. As far as I know, this is not possible:
-- vector<vector<double>> ?
kappa = [[1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 2.0]]
If this is somehow possible using addStruct let me know, but it seems to me we would need an extra container adder, like addDouble2DArray, addDouble3DArray?
or maybe is this possible with addFunction? @white238 https://axom.readthedocs.io/en/develop/axom/inlet/docs/sphinx/functions.html
In Lua, the following operations on the Vector type are supported (for Vector s u, v, and w):
Construction of a 3D vector: u = Vector.new(1, 2, 3)
Construction of a 2D vector: u = Vector.new(1, 2)
Update: i was confusing euclidean vector with std::vector ... addFunction will not work for 2D arrays
