max_matrixT_max_matrixMaxMatrixMaxMatrixmax_matrix (Operator)

Name

max_matrixT_max_matrixMaxMatrixMaxMatrixmax_matrix — Returns the elementwise maximum of a matrix.

Signature

max_matrix( : : MatrixID, MaxType : MatrixMaxID)

Description

The operator max_matrixmax_matrixMaxMatrixMaxMatrixMaxMatrixmax_matrix returns the maximum values of the elements of the Matrix defined by the matrix handle MatrixIDMatrixIDMatrixIDMatrixIDmatrixIDmatrix_id. A new matrix MatrixMax is generated with the result and the matrix handle MatrixMaxIDMatrixMaxIDMatrixMaxIDMatrixMaxIDmatrixMaxIDmatrix_max_id of this matrix is returned. Access to the elements of the matrix is possible e.g., with the operator get_full_matrixget_full_matrixGetFullMatrixGetFullMatrixGetFullMatrixget_full_matrix.

The type of maximum determination of the matrix can be selected via the parameter MaxTypeMaxTypeMaxTypeMaxTypemaxTypemax_type:

'columns'"columns""columns""columns""columns""columns":

The maximum is returned for each column of the Matrix separately. The resulting matrix MatrixMax has one row and the identical number of columns as the input matrix.

Example:

'rows'"rows""rows""rows""rows""rows":

The maximum is returned for each row of the Matrix separately. The resulting matrix MatrixMax has the identical number of rows as the input matrix and one column.

Example:

'full'"full""full""full""full""full":

The maximum is returned using all elements of the Matrix. The resulting matrix MatrixMax has one row and one column.

Example:

Execution Information

Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
Processed without parallelization.

Parameters

MatrixIDMatrixIDMatrixIDMatrixIDmatrixIDmatrix_id (input_control) matrix → (handle)

Matrix handle of the input matrix.
