class JitterMatrix

A named matrix which may be used for data storage and retrieval, resampling, and matrix type and planecount conversion operations.

Constructors

new JitterMatrix(planeCount?: number, dataType?: string, columns?: number, rows?: number);

Constructs a new instance of the JitterMatrix class

ParameterTypeDescription
optional planeCountnumber
optional dataTypestring
optional columnsnumber
optional rowsnumber

Example

var mymatrix = new JitterMatrix(4, "char", 320, 240);

Properties

adapt number

Matrix adaptation flag.

When this flag is set (1), the JitterMatrix will adapt to the incoming matrix planecount, type, and dimensions

dim [number, number]

Matrix data dimensions

dimstride [number, number]

Byte stride per dimension

dstdimend number[]

Destination dimension end position (default = all dim values minus 1).

dstdimstart number[]

Destination dimension start position (default = all 0).

interp number

Matrix interpolation flag (default = 0). When the flag is set, the input matrix will be interpolated when copied to the internal matrix.

name string

Name of the matrix (default = UID).

planecount number

Number of planes in the matrix data (default = 4).

planemap number[]

Maps input planes to output planes (default = 0 1 2 3 ...)

size number

Total byte size of matrix.

srcdimend number[]

Source dimension end position (default = all dim values minus 1).

srcdimstart number[]

Source dimension start position (default = all 0).

type string

The matrix data type (default = "char").

- "char": Char data (0-255) - "long": Long data - "float32": 32-bit floating point data - "float64": 64-bit floating point data

usedstdim number

destdim use flag (default = 0).

When the flag is set, the destination dimension's attributes are used when copying an input matrix to an internal matrix.

usesrcdim number

srcdim use flag (default = 0).

When the flag is set, the source dimension's attributes are used used when copying an input matrix to an internal matrix.

exprfill

Evaluate an expression to fill the matrix

If a plane argument is provided, the expression is applied to a single plane. Otherwise, it is applied to all planes in the matrix. See jit.expr for more information on expressions. Unlike the jit.expr object, there is no support for providing multiple expressions to fill multiple planes at once with different expressions. Call this method multiple times for each plane you wish to fill.
