multi_array, resize and remove a row
Dear all, this is yet another post on multi_array. It seems possible that the multi_array's are resizable (using default construction :( ). However we have no the problem that a specific row should be removed (which is not necessarily the last row). Using the resize option it seems not possbile. Am I correct? Wkr.

That seems to be functionality out of sympathy with the spirit of arrays. If an 'array' is meant to be a managed analogue of C-style arrays, is a row delete capability really appropriate? This is functionality one would expect to see in a 'multi-vector', I think. - Rob. -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.accu.org

necessarily programming - http://www.accu.org We use is as some sort of underlaying matrix data structure. I wasn't aware of the 'array' nature of multi_array (although it is already in the name :) ). I always interpreted multi_array as n-dimensional matrix.
