void eigenMatrixXd2CArray(Eigen::MatrixXd inMat, double *outArray)

General conversion between any Eigen matrix and output array.

This function provides a general conversion between an Eigen matrix and an output C array. Note that this routine would convert an inbound type to a MatrixXd and then transpose the matrix which would be inefficient in a lot of cases.

Parameters

  • inMat – The source Eigen matrix that we are converting

  • outArray – The destination array (sized by the user!) we copy into

Returns

void

void eigenMatrixXi2CArray(Eigen::MatrixXi inMat, int *outArray)

General conversion between any Eigen matrix and output array.

This function provides a general conversion between an Eigen matrix and an output C array. Note that this routine would convert an inbound type to a MatrixXd and then transpose the matrix which would be inefficient in a lot of cases.

Parameters

  • inMat – The source Eigen matrix that we are converting

  • outArray – The destination array (sized by the user!) we copy into

Returns

void

void eigenVector3d2CArray(Eigen::Vector3d &inMat, double *outArray)

Rapid conversion between 3-vector and output array.

This function provides a direct conversion between a 3-vector and an output C array. We are providing this function to save on the inline conversion and the transpose that would have been performed by the general case.

Parameters

  • inMat – The source Eigen matrix that we are converting

  • outArray – The destination array we copy into

Returns

void

void eigenMRPd2CArray(Eigen::Vector3d &inMat, double *outArray)

Rapid conversion between MRP and output array.

This function provides a direct conversion between an MRP and an output C array. We are providing this function to save on the inline conversion and the transpose that would have been performed by the general case.

Parameters

  • inMat – The source Eigen MRP that we are converting

  • outArray – The destination array we copy into

Returns

void

void eigenMatrix3d2CArray(Eigen::Matrix3d &inMat, double *outArray)

Rapid conversion between 3x3 matrix and output array.

This function provides a direct conversion between a 3x3 matrix and an output C array. We are providing this function to save on the inline conversion that would have been performed by the general case.

Parameters

  • inMat – The source Eigen matrix that we are converting

  • outArray – The destination array we copy into

Returns

void

Eigen::MatrixXd cArray2EigenMatrixXd(double *inArray, int nRows, int nCols)

General conversion between a C array and an Eigen matrix.

This function performs the general conversion between an input C array and an Eigen matrix. Note that to use this function the user MUST size the Eigen matrix ahead of time so that the internal map call has enough information to ingest the C array.

Parameters
