gtsam::VectorValues Class Reference

Detailed Description

This class represents a collection of vector-valued variables associated each with a unique integer index.

It is typically used to store the variables of a GaussianFactorGraph. Optimizing a GaussianFactorGraph or GaussianBayesNet returns this class.

For basic usage, such as receiving a linear solution from gtsam solving functions, or creating this class in unit tests and examples where speed is not important, you can use a simple interface:

Example:

VectorValues values;
values.emplace(3, Vector3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0));
values.emplace(4, Vector2(4.0, 5.0));
values.emplace(0, (Vector(4) << 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0).finished());
// Prints [ 3.0 4.0 ]
gtsam::print(values[1]);
// Prints [ 8.0 9.0 ]
values[1] = Vector2(8.0, 9.0);
gtsam::print(values[1]);
void print(const Matrix &A, const string &s, ostream &stream)
print without optional string, must specify cout yourself
Definition: Matrix.cpp:155
VectorValues()
Default constructor creates an empty VectorValues.
Definition: VectorValues.h:94

Advanced Interface and Performance Information

Access is through the variable Key j, and returns a SubVector, which is a view on the underlying data structure.

This class is additionally used in gradient descent and dog leg to store the gradient.
