Bio::Matrix::Generic - A generic matrix implementation
# A matrix has columns and rows
my $matrix = Bio::Matrix::Generic->new;
$matrix->add_column(1,$column1);
$matrix->add_column(2,$column2);
my $element = $matrix->entry_by_num(1,2);
$matrix->entry_by_num(1,2,$newval);
my $entry = $matrix->entry('human', 'mouse');
$matrix->entry('human','mouse', $newval);
This is a general purpose matrix object for dealing with row+column data which
is typical when enumerating all the pairwise combinations and desiring to get
slices of the data.
Data can be accessed by column and row names or indexes. Matrix indexes start at
0.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal
methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : new
Usage : my $obj = Bio::Matrix::Generic->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Matrix::Generic object
Returns : an instance of Bio::Matrix::Generic
Args : -values => arrayref of arrayrefs of data initialization
-rownames => arrayref of row names
-colnames => arrayref of col names
-matrix_id => id of the matrix
-matrix_name=> name of the matrix
-matrix_init_value => default value to initialize empty cells
Title : matrix_id
Usage : my $id = $matrix->matrix_id
Function: Get/Set the matrix ID
Returns : scalar value
Args : [optional] new id value to store
Title : matrix_name
Usage : my $name = $matrix->matrix_name();
Function: Get/Set the matrix name
Returns : scalar value
Args : [optional] new matrix name value
Title : entry
Usage : my $entry = $matrix->entry($row,$col,$value)
Function: Get the value for a specific cell as specified
by the row and column names
Returns : scalar value or undef if row or col does not
exist
Args : $rowname - name of the row
$colname - column name
$value - [optional] New value for the entry
Title : get_entry
Usage : my $entry = $matrix->get_entry($rowname,$columname,$value)
Function: Get the entry for a given row,column pair
Returns : scalar
Args : $row name
$column name
$value
Title : entry_by_num
Usage : my $entry = $matrix->entry_by_num($rownum,$colnum)
Function: Get an entry by row and column numbers instead of by name
(rows and columns start at 0)
Returns : scalar value or undef if row or column name does not
exist
Args : $row - row number
$col - column number
[optional] $newvalue to store at this cell
Title : column
Usage : my @col = $matrix->column('ALPHA');
OR
$matrix->column('ALPHA', \@col);
Function: Get/Set a particular column
Returns : Array (in array context) or arrayref (in scalar context)
of values.
For setting will warn if the new column is of a different
length from the rest of the columns.
Args : name of the column
[optional] new column to store here
Title : get_column
Usage : my @row = $matrix->get_column('ALPHA');
Function: Get a particular column
Returns : Array (in array context) or arrayref (in scalar context)
of values
Args : name of the column
Title : column_by_num
Usage : my @col = $matrix->column_by_num(1);
OR
$matrix->column_by_num(1,\@newcol);
Function: Get/Set a column by its number instead of name
(cols/rows start at 0)
Returns : Array (in array context) or arrayref (in scalar context)
of values
Args : name of the column
[optional] new value to store for a particular column
Title : row
Usage : my @row = $matrix->row($rowname);
OR
$matrix->row($rowname,\@rowvalues);
Function: Get/Set the row of the matrix
Returns : Array (in array context) or arrayref (in scalar context)
Args : rowname
[optional] new value of row to store
Title : get_row
Usage : my @row = $matrix->get_row('ALPHA');
Function: Get a particular row
Returns : Array (in array context) or arrayref (in scalar context)
