Re: 2.1.33 changelogs/cells

[Gabor Zoltan Csejtey]

Hi,

There was an untested code of cellget on this list earlier:
Some code from ov-list.cc was copied and modified to ov-cell.cc in the
source directory of octave.

Question:  how to put this function into the octave info file?

Here's what you need to put in the ov-cell.cc file.

You could use the following untested function based on nth from ov-list.cc:

DEFUN (cellget, args, ,
  "-*- texinfo -*-\n\
@deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} cellget (@var{cell}, @var{i}, @var{j})\n\
Return the @var{i,j}-th element of @var{cell}.\n\
@end deftypefn")
{
  octave_value retval;
  int i=-1,j=-1;
  
  if (args.length() < 2 || args.length() > 3)
    {
      print_usage ("cellget");
      return retval;
    }
  
  i = args(1).int_value (true);
  if (error_state || i < 1)
    {
      error ("cellget: second argument must be a positive integer");
      return retval;
    }
  
  if (args.length() == 3) 
    {
      j = args(2).int_value (true);
      if (error_state || j < 1)
        {
          error ("cellget: third argument must be a positive integer");
          return retval;
        }
    }
  
  Cell cell = args(0).cell_value ();
  
  if (! error_state)
    {
      int nr = cell.rows();
      int nc = cell.columns();
      
      if (j == -1) 
        if (nr == 1)
          if (i <= nc)
            retval = cell(0,i-1);
          else
            error ("cellget: index = %d out of range", i);
        else if (nc == 1)
          if (i <= nr)
            retval = cell(i-1,0);
          else
            error ("cellget: index = %d out of range", i);
        else
          error ("cellget: single index not valid for 2-D cell array");
      else if (i <= nr && j <= nc)
        retval = cell(i-1, j-1);
      else
        error ("cellget: index = %d,%d out of range", i, j);
    }
  else
    error ("cellget: first argument must be a cell");

  return retval;
}

        Hi,
        is there some way to find out what has changed from 2.1.33 to
        2.1.33 without examining the diff file?

        Can 2.1.33 return the content of a cell correctly?

        If not what has to be done?

        I had the problem that I was not able to extract elements from
        a cell into a matrix again.

        e.g. a={rand(3)};

        c=a{1};
        c =
        {
          [1,1] =

                 0.15108  0.67447  0.70927  0.93837
                 0.20088  0.30963  0.26579  0.68902
                 0.78126  0.19126  0.25733  0.74309
                 0.53532  0.61626  0.59922  0.21876

        }
