DoubleMatrixRowXData Property

Gets or sets the entry of the DoubleMatrixRow having the column index specified by the XDataColumn property of the DoubleMatrixRowCollection of which the row is an item.

Namespace:  Novacta.Analytics
Assembly:  Novacta.Analytics (in Novacta.Analytics.dll) Version: 2.0.0
Syntax
Copy
public double XData { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: Double
The row entry corresponding to the XDataColumn column index.
Remarks

A DoubleMatrixRow instance represents a row of a DoubleMatrix. More thoroughly, since each DoubleMatrixRow is an item in a DoubleMatrixRowCollection, such matrix can be inspected by getting the Matrix property of the given collection.

Entries of a DoubleMatrixRow instance corresponding to a specific column index can be get or set through the indexer ItemInt32. When the indexer sets the entry, the row fires the PropertyChanged event, notifying that the name of the changed property is "Item[]"; as a consequence, subscribers to the event can't know what is the column index of the changed entry. This can be problematic if you want to use DoubleMatrixRow instances as binding sources, for example when binding charts or grids to matrix data.

To overcome such difficulties, the DoubleMatrixRow class defines, among others, the XData property. This property returns a specific entry of the row, that one having as column index the value returned by the XDataColumn property of the DoubleMatrixRowCollection which the row belongs to. In this way, XData can be easily used as a path property when binding to DoubleMatrixRow sources.

If set, the XData property fires the PropertyChanged event, and the new value becomes the entry of Matrix having row and column indexes given by Index and XDataColumn, respectively.

Examples

In the following example, the XDataColumn of a collection of matrix rows is set, and the XData property of its rows is evaluated.

C#
Copy
using System;

namespace Novacta.Analytics.CodeExamples
{
    public class RowXDataExample0  
    {
        public void Main()
        {
            // Create a matrix.
            var data = new double[12] {
                1, 5,  9,
                2, 6, 10,
                3, 7, 11,
                4, 8, 12
            };
            var matrix = DoubleMatrix.Dense(4, 3, data, StorageOrder.RowMajor);
            Console.WriteLine("Data matrix:");
            Console.WriteLine(matrix);
            Console.WriteLine();

            // Get the collection of matrix rows.
            var rows = matrix.AsRowCollection();

            // Set the column corresponding to property XData.
            rows.XDataColumn = 2;

            // Get the XData value for each row.
            foreach (var row in rows) {
                Console.WriteLine("XData for Row {0}: {1}", row.Index, row.XData);
            }

            // Set the XData property: this code updates the data matrix, too.
            foreach (var row in rows) {
                row.XData = row.Index * 100.0;
            }

            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Updated data matrix:");
            Console.WriteLine(matrix);
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
}
