Hi,
I'm creating a PBNI using the SDK and C. I would like to know how I can create a multi dimensional pbarray and set it's values. I have a single dimension array working fine but can't figure out what to create a 2 dimensional pbarray.
pbarray sgpinterface::floatArrayToPBArray(IPB_Session * session, float data[], int size) {
pbuint numDimensions = 1; // Set This To 2 For 2D Array PBArrayInfo::ArrayBound bound; bound.lowerBound = 1; bound.upperBound = size;
pbarray dataArray = session->NewBoundedSimpleArray(pbvalue_dec, numDimensions, &bound); pblong dim[1];
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { dim[0] = i + 1; // What Should This Be For 2D Reference? float floatVal = data[i]; char b[100]; sprintf_s(b, 100, "%f", floatVal); pbdec decval = session->NewDecimal(); session->SetDecimal(decval, (LPCSTR)b); session->SetDecArrayItem(dataArray, dim, decval); // How To Use Dim Here To Set 2D Array Value? } return dataArray;}
long ll_long_array [4,5,6] // 3 dimensional fixed dimensions array example
long ll_long_variable[] // 1 dimensional variable dimension array
As far as I know you cannot create a variable length multidimensional array.
(The fact that multidimensional arrays have to be of a predefined size has never made them very useful to me).
For more complicated stuff I prefer using a datastore which has the advantage of being able to sort, filter, find, etc.
int multi[4][5][6];
