CMatrix:Volume

The Volume method returns the sum of all matrix values.

Syntax

nVolume = CMatrix:Volume()

where

nVolume is the "volume" or sum of all values in the matrix.

This method computes the sum of all CMatrix elements. If the matrix elements was cponsidered to be a grid of height values, then the sum of all members would be the volume under the matrix.

Example

The following script computes the volume of the CMatrix:

M = CMatrix:new()	-- create a CMatrix
M:Init( 5, 7, 1 )	-- setup a 5 x 7 matrix
Printf("Vol = %lg", M:Volume() )	-- result: Vol = 35
