public abstract class ObjectMatrix3D
extends AbstractMatrix3D

Abstract base class for 3-d matrices holding `Object` elements. First see the package summary and javadoc tree view to get the broad picture.

A matrix has a number of slices, rows and columns, which are assigned upon instance construction - The matrix's size is then `slices()*rows()*columns()`. Elements are accessed via `[slice,row,column]` coordinates. Legal coordinates range from `[0,0,0]` to `[slices()-1,rows()-1,columns()-1]`. Any attempt to access an element at a coordinate `slice<0 || slice>=slices() || row<0 || row>=rows() || column<0 || column>=column()` will throw an `IndexOutOfBoundsException`.

Note that this implementation is not synchronized.

### assign

    public ObjectMatrix3D assign(Object[][][] values)

  Sets all cells to the state specified by `values`. `values` is required to have the form `values[slice][row][column]` and have exactly the same number of slices, rows and columns as the receiver.

  The values are copied. So subsequent changes in `values` are not reflected in the matrix, and vice-versa.

  Parameters:
    `values` - the values to be filled into the cells.
  Returns:
    `this` (for convenience only).
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `values.length != slices() || for any 0 <= slice < slices(): values[slice].length != rows()`.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `for any 0 <= column < columns(): values[slice][row].length != columns()`.

### assign

    public ObjectMatrix3D assign(ObjectFunction function)

  Assigns the result of a function to each cell; `x[slice,row,col] = function(x[slice,row,col])`.

  Example:

      matrix = 1 x 2 x 2 matrix
      0.5 1.5
      2.5 3.5

      // change each cell to its sine
      matrix.assign(cern.jet.math.Functions.sin);
      -->
      1 x 2 x 2 matrix
      0.479426  0.997495
      0.598472 -0.350783

    `this` (for convenience only).
  See Also:
    `Functions`

### assign

    public ObjectMatrix3D assign(ObjectMatrix3D other)

  Replaces all cell values of the receiver with the values of another matrix. Both matrices must have the same number of slices, rows and columns. If both matrices share the same cells (as is the case if they are views derived from the same matrix) and intersect in an ambiguous way, then replaces as if using an intermediate auxiliary deep copy of `other`.

  Parameters:
    `other` - the source matrix to copy from (may be identical to the receiver).
  Returns:
    `this` (for convenience only).
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `slices() != other.slices() || rows() != other.rows() || columns() != other.columns()`

### assign

    public ObjectMatrix3D assign(ObjectMatrix3D y,
                                 ObjectObjectFunction function)

  Example:

      // assign x[row,col] = x[row,col]y[row,col]
      m1 = 1 x 2 x 2 matrix
      0 1
      2 3

      m2 = 1 x 2 x 2 matrix
      0 2
      4 6

      m1.assign(m2, cern.jet.math.Functions.pow);
      -->
      m1 == 1 x 2 x 2 matrix
       1   1
      16 729

  For further examples, see the package doc.

  Parameters:
    `y` - the secondary matrix to operate on.
    `function` - a function object taking as first argument the current cell's value of `this`, and as second argument the current cell's value of `y`,
  Returns:
    `this` (for convenience only).
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `slices() != other.slices() || rows() != other.rows() || columns() != other.columns()`
  See Also:
    `Functions`

### assign

    public ObjectMatrix3D assign(Object value)

  Sets all cells to the state specified by `value`.

  Returns:
    `this` (for convenience only).

### cardinality

    public int cardinality()

  Returns the number of cells having non-zero values; ignores tolerance.

### copy

    public ObjectMatrix3D copy()

  Constructs and returns a deep copy of the receiver.

  Note that the returned matrix is an independent deep copy. The returned matrix is not backed by this matrix, so changes in the returned matrix are not reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa.

  Returns:
    a deep copy of the receiver.

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object otherObj)

  Compares the specified Object with the receiver for equality. Equivalent to `equals(otherObj,true)`.

  Parameters:
    `otherObj` - the Object to be compared for equality with the receiver.
  Returns:
    true if the specified Object is equal to the receiver.

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object otherObj,
                          boolean testForEquality)

  Compares the specified Object with the receiver for equality. Returns true if and only if the specified Object is also at least an ObjectMatrix3D, both matrices have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of cells in the two matrices are the same. In other words, two matrices are defined to be equal if they contain the same cell values in the same order. Tests elements for equality or identity as specified by `testForEquality`. When testing for equality, two elements `e1` and `e2` are equal if `(e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2))`.)

  Parameters:
    `otherObj` - the Object to be compared for equality with the receiver.
    `testForEquality` - if true -> tests for equality, otherwise for identity.
  Returns:
    true if the specified Object is equal to the receiver.

### get

    public Object get(int slice,
                      int row,
                      int column)

  Returns the matrix cell value at coordinate `[slice,row,column]`.

  Parameters:
    `slice` - the index of the slice-coordinate.
    `row` - the index of the row-coordinate.
    `column` - the index of the column-coordinate.
  Returns:
    the value of the specified cell.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `slice<0 || slice>=slices() || row<0 || row>=rows() || column<0 || column>=column()`.

### getNonZeros

    public void getNonZeros(IntArrayList sliceList,
                            IntArrayList rowList,
                            IntArrayList columnList,
                            ObjectArrayList valueList)

  Fills the coordinates and values of cells having non-zero values into the specified lists. Fills into the lists, starting at index 0. After this call returns the specified lists all have a new size, the number of non-zero values.

  In general, fill order is unspecified. This implementation fill like: `for (slice = 0..slices-1) for (row = 0..rows-1) for (column = 0..colums-1) do ...` . However, subclasses are free to us any other order, even an order that may change over time as cell values are changed. (Of course, result lists indexes are guaranteed to correspond to the same cell). For an example, see `ObjectMatrix2D.getNonZeros(IntArrayList,IntArrayList,ObjectArrayList)`.

  Parameters:
    `sliceList` - the list to be filled with slice indexes, can have any size.
    `rowList` - the list to be filled with row indexes, can have any size.
    `columnList` - the list to be filled with column indexes, can have any size.
    `valueList` - the list to be filled with values, can have any size.

                                    int column)

  Returns the matrix cell value at coordinate `[slice,row,column]`.

  Provided with invalid parameters this method may return invalid objects without throwing any exception. You should only use this method when you are absolutely sure that the coordinate is within bounds. Precondition (unchecked): `slice<0 || slice>=slices() || row<0 || row>=rows() || column<0 || column>=column()`.

  Parameters:
    `slice` - the index of the slice-coordinate.

  To obtain a slice view on subranges, construct a sub-ranging view (`view().part(...)`), then apply this method to the sub-range view. To obtain 1-dimensional views, apply this method, then apply another slice view (methods `viewColumn`, `viewRow`) on the intermediate 2-dimensional view. To obtain 1-dimensional views on subranges, apply both steps.

  Parameters:

There holds `view.slices() == sliceIndexes.length, view.rows() == rowIndexes.length, view.columns() == columnIndexes.length` and `view.get(k,i,j) == this.get(sliceIndexes[k],rowIndexes[i],columnIndexes[j])`. Indexes can occur multiple times and can be in arbitrary order. For an example see `ObjectMatrix2D.viewSelection(int[],int[])`.

  Note that modifying the index arguments after this call has returned has no effect on the view. The returned view is backed by this matrix, so changes in the returned view are reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa.

  Parameters:
    `sliceIndexes` - The slices of the cells that shall be visible in the new view. To indicate that all slices shall be visible, simply set this parameter to `null`.
    `rowIndexes` - The rows of the cells that shall be visible in the new view. To indicate that all rows shall be visible, simply set this parameter to `null`.
    `columnIndexes` - The columns of the cells that shall be visible in the new view. To indicate that all columns shall be visible, simply set this parameter to `null`.
  Returns:
    the new view.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `!(0 <= sliceIndexes[i] < slices())` for any `i=0..sliceIndexes.length()-1`.
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `!(0 <= rowIndexes[i] < rows())` for any `i=0..rowIndexes.length()-1`.
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `!(0 <= columnIndexes[i] < columns())` for any `i=0..columnIndexes.length()-1`.

### viewSelection

    public ObjectMatrix3D viewSelection(ObjectMatrix2DProcedure condition)

  Constructs and returns a new selection view that is a matrix holding all slices matching the given condition. Applies the condition to each slice and takes only those where `condition.apply(viewSlice(i))` yields `true`. To match rows or columns, use a dice view.

  Example:

      // extract and view all slices which have an aggregate sum > 1000
      matrix.viewSelection(
         new ObjectMatrix2DProcedure() {
            public final boolean apply(ObjectMatrix2D m) { return m.zSum > 1000; }
         }
      );

  For further examples, see the package doc. The returned view is backed by this matrix, so changes in the returned view are reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa.

  Parameters:
    `condition` - The condition to be matched.
  Returns:
    the new view.

### viewSlice

    public ObjectMatrix2D viewSlice(int slice)

  Constructs and returns a new 2-dimensional slice view representing the rows and columns of the given slice. The returned view is backed by this matrix, so changes in the returned view are reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa.

  To obtain a slice view on subranges, construct a sub-ranging view (`view().part(...)`), then apply this method to the sub-range view. To obtain 1-dimensional views, apply this method, then apply another slice view (methods `viewColumn`, `viewRow`) on the intermediate 2-dimensional view. To obtain 1-dimensional views on subranges, apply both steps.

  Parameters:
    `slice` - the index of the slice to fix.
  Returns:
    a new 2-dimensional slice view.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `slice < 0 || slice >= slices()`.
  See Also:
    `viewRow(int)`, `viewColumn(int)`

### viewSliceFlip

    public ObjectMatrix3D viewSliceFlip()

  Constructs and returns a new flip view along the slice axis. What used to be slice `0` is now slice `slices()-1`, ..., what used to be slice `slices()-1` is now slice `0`. The returned view is backed by this matrix, so changes in the returned view are reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa.

  Returns:
    a new flip view.
  See Also:
    `viewRowFlip()`, `viewColumnFlip()`

### viewSorted

    public ObjectMatrix3D viewSorted(int row,
                                     int column)

  Sorts the matrix slices into ascending order, according to the natural ordering of the matrix values in the given `[row,column]` position. This sort is guaranteed to be stable. For further information, see `Sorting.sort(ObjectMatrix3D,int,int)`. For more advanced sorting functionality, see `Sorting`.

  Returns:
    a new sorted vector (matrix) view.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `row < 0 || row >= rows() || column < 0 || column >= columns()`.

### viewStrides

    public ObjectMatrix3D viewStrides(int sliceStride,
                                      int rowStride,
                                      int columnStride)

  Constructs and returns a new stride view which is a sub matrix consisting of every i-th cell. More specifically, the view has `this.slices()/sliceStride` slices and `this.rows()/rowStride` rows and `this.columns()/columnStride` columns holding cells `this.get(k*sliceStride,i*rowStride,j*columnStride)` for all `k = 0..slices()/sliceStride - 1, i = 0..rows()/rowStride - 1, j = 0..columns()/columnStride - 1`. The returned view is backed by this matrix, so changes in the returned view are reflected in this matrix, and vice-versa.

  Parameters:
    `sliceStride` - the slice step factor.
    `rowStride` - the row step factor.
    `columnStride` - the column step factor.
  Returns:
    a new view.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `sliceStride<=0 || rowStride<=0 || columnStride<=0`.
