Re: [eigen] Array cwise multiplication

[Carlos Becker <carlosbecker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Benoit. No, it doesn't work and it makes sense, since it would be like multiplying a vector by a vector algebraically, which has no sense for a Matrix type (has it?)

I wanted to do element-wise multiplication, and I thought that .array().colwise() would cope with that. Just to clarify, I want to do:

if A = [1 2; 

          3 4] 

and B = [a;b] (matlab notation)

then I want to get something like:

result = [ 1*a, 2*a; 

             3*b 4*b ]

Should I do this another way? I thought that .array().colwise() was defined to apply the element-wise operation for every column vector in A.

Thanks

Here you're multiplying an array by a matrix.

Doesn't a.colwise() * b work?
