Subject: [Boost-users] [multi-array] Extracting dimension information from a
multi-array
I'm trying to extract dimension information from a boost multi-array. The
documentation gives the following short example.
typedef boost::multi_array array_type;
typedef array_type::index index;
array_type A(boost::extents[3][4][2]);
// Assign values to the elements
int values = 0;
for(index i = 0; i != 3; ++i)
for(index j = 0; j != 4; ++j)
for(index k = 0; k != 2; ++k)
A[i][j][k] = values++;
This is okay if you know the dimension information. Most of the time,
though, you don't want to hard code the dimensions into your loop. The
multi_array::dimensionality specifies the dimensions of the array. How do I
find the max elements of each dimension?

I believe the shape() member function is what you're looking for,
