Description

 • These functions are part of the OpenMaple interface to Microsoft Visual Basic.
 • The RTableSparseCompact function removes zero entries from a NAG sparse rtable.  Such rtables can be manipulated in external code, but on return to Maple, they must not contain zero entries or duplicates.
 • The RTableSparseIndexRow function retrieves a copy of the ith index vector from a NAG sparse rtable.  NAG sparse rtables have one index vector for every dimension, plus a data vector.  The ith entries of the index vectors combine to form the index that specifies the ith data entry. ptrRTableSparseIndexRow retrieves the address of the memory used to store the index row entries.
 • The RTableSparseIndexSort function sorts the index vectors in a NAG sparse rtable. The by_dim parameter indicates which vector is sorted first.  A value of 1 indicates that the row vector in a 2-D rtable is sorted first. A value of 2 indicates the column vector of the same rtable is sorted first. Internally Maple maintains the index vectors in two sections, the first part is assumed to be sorted, and the second part is unsorted. A sort is automatically triggered when the unsorted section becomes too large.  A value of by_dim = -1 indicates that the order of the first part may have changed, so the entire data vector must be resorted. Otherwise, sorting by row assumes the first block is already sorted. Only newly appended entries plus the unsorted block are sorted and merged into the sorted block. Changing the order without resorting results in unpredictable rtable access from Maple.
 • NAG sparse rtables usually have space for inserting new elements without reallocating the index and data vectors.  If external code makes use of this space, then RTableSparseSetNumElems must be called to update the internal structure with the new number of elements stored in the rtable.  The size of the data block can be retrieved by calling RTableSparseSize.  To increase or reduce the size of the data block, use RTableSparseResize.
