Hello,
I think the examples on page 4 of the tutorial (on blocks) are perhaps a
bit too basic. I would like to add more exciting stuff, like
m.row(i) += 3 * m.row(j); (*)
What do you (in particular, Carlos, who is doing great work on the
tutorial) think? Obviously, many people reading the tutorial are beginners
- that's what it is for - so we should be careful to keep it simple.
Perhaps (*) is too hard ?
On page 3 (arrays), perhaps we should mention mat1.cwiseMul(mat2) as an
alternative to mat1.array() * mat2.array() ?
And what about other coefficient-wise operations, like array.square() ?
Or would that make the tutorial too long?
There are some topics which we might consider adding to the tutorial:
* output, how to change precision (perhaps more obvious now but that used
to be a common question), .format() or whatever it's called
* special matrices (triangular, diagonal, etc)
Again, would these make the tutorial too long?
Of course, I realize that raising these issues may well mean I have to do
it, but I'm not very certain of them so I thought I'd raise them first.
Cheers,
Jitse
