obj = new Vector()
obj = new Vector(size)
obj = new Vector(size, init)
double x[]
variable. Individual elements of this array can
be manipulated with the normal objref.x[index]
notation.
Most of the Vector functions apply their operations to each element of the
x array thus avoiding the often tedious scaffolding required by an otherwise
un-encapsulated double array.
A vector can be created with length size and with each element set to the value of init.
Vector methods that modify the elements are generally of the form
obj = vsrcdest.method(...)in which the values of vsrcdest on entry to the method are used as source values by the method to compute values which replace the old values in vsrcdest and the original vsrcdest object reference is the return value of the method. For example, v1 = v2 + v3 would be written,
v1 = v2.add(v3)However, this results in two, often serious, side effects. First, the v2 elements are changed and so the original values are lost. Furthermore v1 at the end is a reference to the same Vector object pointed to by v2. That is, if you subsequently change the elements of v2, the elements of v1 will change as well since v1 and v2 are in fact labels for the same object.
When these side effects need to be avoided, one uses the Vector.c function which returns a reference to a completely new Vector which is an identical copy. ie.
v1 = v2.c.add(v3)leaves v2 unchanged, and v1 points to a completely new Vector. One can build up elaborate vector expressions in this manner, ie v1 = v2*s2 + v3*s3 + v4*s4could be written
v1 = v2.c.mul(s2).add(v3.c.mul(s3)).add(v4.c.mul(s4))but if the expressions get too complex it is probably clearer to employ temporary objects to break the process into several separate expressions.

notation.
Vector indices range from 0 to Vector.size()-1.
This
notation is superior to the older vec.get()
and vec.set()
notations for
three reasons:
vec.get
and vec.set
with a syntax that is consistent with the normal
syntax for a double
array inside of an object.
print vec.x[0]
prints the value of the 0th (first) element.
vec.x[i] = 3
sets the i'th element to 3.
Note, however, that there is a potential difficulty with the xpvalue field editor since, if vec is ever resized, then the pointer will be invalid. In this case, the field editor will display the string, "Free'd".xpanel("show a field editor") xvalue("vec.x[3]") xpvalue("last element", &vec.x[vec.size() - 1]) xpanel()
vec.x[-1]
returns the value of the first element of the vector, just as
would vec.x[0]
.
vec.x(i)
returns the value of index i just as does vec.x[i]
.
Vector
size = vec.size()
vec.size() - 1
. Most explicit for loops over a vector can take the form:
Note: There is a distinction between the size of a vector and the amount of memory allocated to hold the vector. Generally, memory is only freed and reallocated if the size needed is greater than the memory storage previously allocated to the vector. Thus the memory used by vectors tends to grow but not shrink. To reduce the memory used by a vector, one can explicitly call buffer_size .for i=0, vec.size()-1 {... vec.x[i] ...}
Vector
obj = vsrcdest.resize(new_size)
Warning: Any function that resizes the vector to a larger size than its available space will make existing pointers to the elements invalid (see note in size ). For example, resizing vectors that have been plotted will remove that vector from the plot list. Other functions may not be so forgiving and result in a memory error (segmentation violation or unhandled exception).

Vector
space = vsrc.buffer_size()
space = vsrc.buffer_size(request)
With an argument, frees the old memory space and allocates new memory space for the vector, copying old element values to the new elements. If the request is less than the size, the size is truncated to the request. For vectors that grow continuously, it may be more efficient to allocate enough space at the outset, or else occasionally change the buffer_size by larger chunks. It is not necessary to worry about the efficiency of growth during a Vector.record since the space available automatically increases by doubling.

vdest.record(&var)
vdest.record(&var, Dt)
vdest.record(&var, tvec)
Details:
Transfers take place on exit from finitialize()
and on exit from fadvance()
.
At the end of finitialize()
, v.x[0] = var
. At the end of fadvance
,
var will be saved if t
(after being incremented by fadvance
)
is equal or greater than the associated time of the
next index. The system maintains a set of record vectors and the vector will
be removed from the list if the vector or var is destroyed.
The vector is automatically increased in size by 100 elements at a time
if more space is required, so efficiency will be slightly improved if one
creates vectors with sufficient size to hold the entire stream, and plots will
be more persistent (recall that resizing may cause reallocation of memory
to hold elements and this will make pointers invalid).
The record semantics can be thought of as:
var(t) -> v.x[index]
The default relationship between index
and
t
is t = index*dt
.
In the second form, t = index*Dt
.
In the third form, t = tvec.x[index]
.
dt
is greater than
Dt
. Things work best if Dt
happens to be a multiple of dt
. All combinations
of record ; play ; Dt =>< dt
; and tvec sequences
have not been tested.
If one is using the graphical interface generated by "Standard Run Library" to simulate a neuron containing a "terminal" section, Then one can store the time course of the terminal voltage (between runs) with:
Note that the next "run" will overwrite the previous time course stored in the vector. Thus dv should be copied to another vector ( see copy ). To remove dv from the list of record vectors, the easiest method is to destroy the instance withobjref dv dv = new Vector() dv.record(&terminal.v(.5)) init() // or push the "Init and Run" button on the control panel run()
dv = new Vector()
Vector
vsrc.play(&var)
vsrc.play(&var, Dt)
vsrc.play(&var, tvec)
vsrc.play("stmt involving $1", optional Dt or tvec arg)
vsrc.play(index)
vsrc
vector values are assigned to the "var" variable during
a simulation.
Previous record and play specifications of this Vector (if any)
are destroyed.
If the "stmt involving $1" form is used, that statement is executed with the appropriate value of the $1 arg. This is not as efficient as the pointer form but is useful for playing a value into a set of variables as in
forall g_pas = $1
The index form imediately sets the var (or executes the stmt) with the value of vsrc.x[index]
The play semantics can be thought of as
v.x[index] -> var(t)
The default relationship between index and t is
dt*index = t
. In the second and third form,
var gets the value of v.x[index]
at the beginning of the fadvance when fadvance will exit with t > index*Dt
or t > tvec.x[index]
respectively.
Details:
Transfers take place on entry to finitialize()
and on entry to fadvance()
.
At the beginning of finitialize()
, var = v.x[0]
. On fadvance
a transfer will
take place if t will be (after the fadvance
increment) equal
or greater than the associated time of the next index.
The system maintains a set of play vectors and the vector will be removed
from the list if the vector or var is destroyed.
If the end of the vector is reached, no further transfers are made (var
becomes
constant)
Note well: if fadvance
exits with time equal to t
(ie enters at time t-dt)
var
is set on entry to fadvance
equal to the value of
the vector at the index
appropriate to time t. Execute tests/nrniv/vrecord.hoc to see what this implies
during a simulation. ie the value of var from t-dt
to t played into by
a vector is equal to the value of the vector at index(t)
. If the vector
was meant to serve as a continuous stimulus function, this results in
a first order correct simulation with respect to dt. If a second order correct
simulation is desired, it is necessary (though perhaps not sufficient since
all other equations in the system must also be solved using methods at least
second order correct) to fill the vector with function values at f((i-.5)*dt).

obj = vsrcdest.indgen()
obj = vsrcdest.indgen(stepsize)
obj = vsrcdest.indgen(start,stepsize)
obj = vsrcdest.indgen(start,stop,stepsize)
With only stepsize passed, the sequence goes from 0 to
stepsize
*(size-1)
in steps of stepsize. Stepsize does not have to be an integer.
With start, stop and stepsize, the vector is resized to be stop/stepsize long and the sequence goes from start up to and including stop in increments of stepsize.

are copied to vdest beginning at dest.x[dest_start]
,
Src_start and src_end here refer to indices of vsrcx,
not vdest. If vdest is too small for the size required by vsrc and the
arguments, then it is resized to hold the data.
If the dest is larger than required AND there is more than one
argument the dest is NOT resized.
One may use -1 for the
src_end argument to specify the entire size (instead of the
tedious src.size()-1
)
If the second (and third) argument is a vector, the elements of that vector are the indices of the vsrc to be copied to the same indices of the vdest. In this case the vdest is not resized and any indices that are out of range of either vsrc or vdest are ignored. This function allows mapping of a subset of a source vector into the subset of a destination vector.
This function can be slightly more efficient than c since if vdest contains enough space, memory will not have to be allocated for it. Also it is convenient for those cases in which vdest is being plotted and therefore reallocation of memory (with consequent removal of vdest from the Graph) is to be explicitly avoided.
To merge or shuffle two vectors into a third, use:... v2 = new Vector() v2.copy(v1, 0, 1, -1, 1, 2) v2.printf()
... v3 = new Vector() v3.copy(v1, 0, 0, -1, 2, 1) v3.copy(v2, 1, 0, -1, 2, 1) v3.printf

This function predates the introduction of the vsrc.c, "clone", function which is synonymous but is retained for backward compatibility.

vec
to an open fileobj
of type File in
machine dependent binary format.
You must keep track of the vector's
size for later reading, so it is recommended that you store the size of the
vector as the first element of the file.
It is almost always better to use vwrite since it stores the size of the vector automatically and is more portable since the corresponding vread will take care of machine dependent binary byte ordering differences.
Return value is the number of items. (0 if error)
fread is used to read a file containing numbers stored by fwrite
but
must have the same size.

If n
is present, the vector is resized before reading. Note that
files created with fwrite cannot be fread on a machine with different
byte ordering. E.g. spark and intel cpus have different byte ordering.
It is almost always better to use vwrite
in combination with vread
.
See vwrite for the meaning of the precision argment.
Return value is 1 (no error checking).

vwrite()
is easier to use than fwrite()
since it stores the size of the vector and type information
for a more
automated read/write. The file data can also be vread on a machine with
different byte ordering. e.g. you can vwrite with an intel cpu and vread
on a sparc.
Precision formats 1 and 2 employ a simple automatic
compression which is uncompressed automatically by vread. Formats 3 and 4
remain uncompressed.
Default precision is 4 (double) because this is the usual type used for numbers in oc and therefore requires no conversion or compression
* 1 : char shortest 8 bits * 2 : short 16 bits 3 : float 32 bits 4 : double longest 64 bits 5 : int sizeof(int) bytes

Return value is 1 . Only if the type field is invalid will the return value be 0.

reads until end of file.
If reading
til eof, a number followed
by a newline must be the last string in the file. (no trailing spaces
after the number and no extra newlines).
When reading til EOF, the vector grows approximately by doubling when
its currently allocated space is filled. To avoid the overhead of
memory reallocation when scanning very long vectors (e.g. > 50000 elements)
it is a good idea to presize the vector to a larger value than the
expected number of elements to be scanned.
Note that although the vector is resized to
the actual number of elements scanned, the space allocated to the
vector remains available for growth. See buffer_size .

any position prior to column c+1 but it is recommended that the sentinal

This function plots the
vec
values that exist in the vector at the time of graph flushing or window
resizing. The alternative is vec.line()
which plots the vector values
that exist at the time of the call to plot
. It is therefore possible with
vec.line()
to produce multiple plots
on the same graph.
Once a vector is plotted, it is only necessary to call graphobj.flush()
in order to display further changes to the vector. In this way it
is possible to produce rather rapid line animation.
If the vector label is not empty it will be used as the label for the line on the Graph.
Resizing a vector that has been plotted will remove it from the Graph.
The number of points plotted is the minimum of vec.size and x_vec.size at the time vec.plot is called. x_vec is assumed to be an unchanging Vector.

necessary to declare an object reference (objref newvect
), it is not necessary
to execute newvect = new Vector()
.
The first element of newvect
is 0 (newvect.x[0] = 0
).
For ii > 0
, newvect.x[ii]
equals the number of
items
in vsrc
whose values lie in the half open interval
[a,b)
where b = low + ii*width
and a = b - width
.
In other words, newvect.x[ii]
is the number of items in
vsrc
that fall in the bin just below the boundary b
.

histogram
of not imposing arbitrary bins. low
and high
set the range of the curve.
width
determines the granularity of the
curve. var
sets the variance of the gaussians.
The optional argument weight_vec
is a vector which should be the same
size as vec
and is used to scale or weight the gaussians (default is
for them all to have areas of 1 unit).
This function returns a vector, so while it is
necessary to declare a vector object (objref vectobj
), it is not necessary
to delcare vectobj
as a new Vector()
.
To plot, use v.indgen(low,high,width)
for the x-vector argument.

varvar
sets the variance of the gaussians.
The optional argument weight_vec
is a vector which should be the same size as vsrc
and is used to scale or
weight the number of data points at a particular value.
