Re: uBLAS: reference to container data & iteratordeclaration

Either use

matrix_column v (m.column (2)); // proxy[1]

or

vector<double> v (m.column (2)); // copy

Thank you so much. That seems to be exactly what I was looking for. BTW.: It seems that "matrix_column c "can be used as a reference to any other 'vector-like' type, as the following also works: c = v; // v beeing a vector; c = m.row(2); c = m.col(0); There is still an interesting point: While it is possible to assign a row to the matrix_column it is not possible to supply a row in the constructor call. What is the rationale behind this? If the constructor also would accept a row I could use it as a parameter type for function calls when I want to express, that only 'data' types are expected and 'expressions' are not wanted. (Sorry for the sloppy formulation, I am not sure how to express this more concise.)

*) Second question: ...

matrix_column::iterator it;

This is clear to me now. I've RTFM'd ;-) and found the example using the free column() functions. Roland
