It's quite a simple task, but I was not able to find an answer to it:
Using the Eigen library, suppose I have Matrix2Xd mat
and Vector2d vec
, where
mat = 1 1 1
1 1 1
vec = 2 2
Now I need something like mat.addCol(vec)
such that afterwards
mat = 1 1 1 2
1 1 1 2
What is the best (simplest) way to accomplish this?
Please note, that this is not a duplicate of How do you make a matrix out of vectors in eigen?. I don't want to initialy construct the matrix but append to an existing one. Or is there maybe a trick, how to use the comma initialization in this case? The following code will fail:
Matrix2Xd mat(2,3);
Vector2d vec;
mat << 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1;
vec << 2, 2;
cout << mat << endl;
mat << vec; // <-- crashes here
cout << mat << endl;
Edit: The following works, but I don't like the need of a temporary variable for such a basic task. Is there a better way?
Matrix2Xd tmp(2, mat.cols()+1);
tmp << mat, vec;
mat = tmp;
resize
member function... Documentation can be googled, or read, at the least. – rubenvbresize
does not keep the content of the matrix. If I domat.resize(2, mat.cols()+1);
, the matrix is filled with some random values afterwards. – luator
