Module nalgebra_sparse::convert

Routines for converting between sparse matrix formats.

Most users should instead use the provided From implementations to convert between matrix formats. Note that From implementations may not be available between all combinations of sparse matrices.

The following example illustrates how to convert between matrix formats with the From implementations.

use nalgebra_sparse::{csr::CsrMatrix, csc::CscMatrix, coo::CooMatrix};
use nalgebra::DMatrix;

// Conversion from dense
let dense = DMatrix::<f64>::identity(9, 8);
let csr = CsrMatrix::from(&dense);
let csc = CscMatrix::from(&dense);
let coo = CooMatrix::from(&dense);

// CSR <-> CSC
let _ = CsrMatrix::from(&csc);
let _ = CscMatrix::from(&csr);

// CSR <-> COO
let _ = CooMatrix::from(&csr);
let _ = CsrMatrix::from(&coo);

// CSC <-> COO
let _ = CooMatrix::from(&csc);
let _ = CscMatrix::from(&coo);

The routines available here are able to provide more specialized APIs, giving more control over the conversion process. The routines are organized by backends. Currently, only the serial backend is available. In the future, backends that offer parallel routines may become available.
