Re: PVD/PVA: Examples for multi-dimensional arrays?

Something like the NTMatrix, then? (N x M element array of doubles.)

(I am not sure how much "support" is there, though.)

Hi Mark,

What do you mean by "support"?  NTNDArrays are certainly N-dimensional.  Do you want the API to allow extracting rows/columns, etc.?

Hm.

The problem with leaving n-dim support to the application is that every application using n-dim arrays will have to do its own implementation of the accessors. Also, because of that, these n-dim arrays will likely not be compatible between applications.

Does that sound like I am asking for a new normative type?
