|
the number of columns specified by the |
| 33 |
|
.I \-oc |
| 34 |
|
option. |
| 35 |
+ |
The number of rows may be specified with a |
| 36 |
+ |
.I \-or |
| 37 |
+ |
option, or may be determined automatically from the size of the input if |
| 38 |
+ |
it is an even multiple of the number of columns (as it should be). |
| 39 |
+ |
Alternatively, both may be specified using a |
| 40 |
+ |
.I \-o |
| 41 |
+ |
option with the number of rows and columns separated by an 'x', as in "30x14" |
| 42 |
+ |
for 30 rows by 14 columns. |
| 43 |
+ |
.I Rcollate |
| 44 |
+ |
can also reorder the input into nested blocks by continuing the output size |
| 45 |
+ |
string. |
| 46 |
+ |
For example, "3x10X7x2" would order output data with a 3x10 super-array of |
| 47 |
+ |
7x2 subblocks. |
| 48 |
+ |
This type of block hierarchy is convenient for visualizing tensor data. |

By default, the file is assumed to include an information header, which |

The input format is assumed to be ASCII, with three white-space separated words |
| 65 |
|
(typically numbers) in each record. |
| 87 |

and |

If an input header is present, it may contain the format, number of components |
| 96 |
+ |
and matrix dimensions. |
| 97 |
+ |
In such cases, the |
| 98 |
+ |
.I \-ic, |
| 99 |
+ |
.I \-ir |
| 100 |
+ |
and |
| 101 |

.I \-f |
| 102 |

options are not required, but will be checked against the header |
| 103 |

information if provided. |

|
The transpose option, |
| 106 |
|
.I \-t |
| 107 |
|
swaps rows and columns on the input. |
| 108 |
< |
For binary files, the user must specify at least one input or output |
| 109 |
< |
dimension to define the matrix size. |
| 108 |
> |
For binary files with no header information, the user must |
| 109 |
> |
specify at least one input or output dimension to define the matrix size. |
| 110 |
|
For ASCII files, |
| 111 |
|
.I rcollate |
| 112 |
|
will automatically determine the number of columns based on the |
| 113 |
|
position of the first EOL (end-of-line) character, and the number |
| 114 |
< |
of rows based on the count of records in the file. |
| 114 |
> |
of rows based on the total count of records in the file. |
| 115 |
|
The user may override these determinations, allowing the matrix to |
| 116 |
< |
be resized as well as transposed. |
| 117 |
< |
If input and output dimensions are given, the number of input rows |
| 118 |
< |
must equal the number of output columns, |
| 119 |
< |
and the number of input columns must equal the number of output rows |
| 120 |
< |
with the |
| 121 |
< |
.I \-t |
| 122 |
< |
option. |
| 123 |
< |
For large transpose operations on Unix systems, it is much more efficient |
| 124 |
< |
to specify the input file on the command line, rather than reading |
| 125 |
< |
from the standard input, since |
| 89 |
< |
.I rcollate |
| 90 |

can map the file directly into memory. |

+ |
For large transpose or re-ordering operations on Unix systems, |
| 147 |
+ |
it is most efficient to specify the input file on the command line, |
| 148 |
+ |
rather than reading from the standard input, since |
| 149 |

.I rcollate |
| 150 |

can map the file directly into virtual memory. |

.PP |
| 152 |
|
The |
| 153 |
|
.I rcollate |
| 154 |
|
command is rather inflexible when it comes to output field and record |
| 155 |
|
separators for ASCII data. |
| 156 |
< |
It accepts any number or type of white space between input fields |
| 156 |
> |
It accepts any amount of white space between fields |
| 157 |
|
on input, but only produces spaces as field separators |
| 158 |
< |
between words and tabs as record separators. |

between words and tabs as record separators on output. |

Output row separtors will always be an EOL, which may differ between systems. |
