MathMatrix class

MathMatrix class

Specifies the Matrix object, consisting of child elements laid out in one or more rows and columns. It is important to note that matrices do not have built in delimiters. To place the matrix in the brackets you should use the delimiter object (IMathDelimiter). Null arguments can be used to create gaps in matrices.

The MathMatrix type exposes the following members:

Constructors

ConstructorDescription
__init__Initializes a new instance of the MathMatrix class.

Properties

PropertyDescription
row_countNumber of rows in the matrix
column_countNumber of columns in the matrix
hide_placeholdersHide the placeholders for empty matrix elements
Default: false
base_justificationSpecifies the vertical justification respect to surrounding text.
Possible values are top, bottom, and center.
Default: Center
min_column_widthMinimum column width in twips (1/20th of a point)
The gap spacing (also referred to as “Column Gap” or “Gap Width”) is added to
the MinColumnWidth to determine the total Matrix Column Spacing
(distance between the same edges of different columns).
Default: 0.
column_gap_ruleThe type of horizontal spacing between columns of a matrix;
Horizontal spacing units can be ems or points (stored as twips).
Default: SingleSpacingGap (0)
column_gapThe value of horizontal spacing between columns of a matrix;
If the ColumnGapRule is set to 3 (“Exactly”), then the unit is interpreted as twips (1/20th of a point)
If the ColumnGapRule is set to 4 (“Multiple”), then the unit is interpreted as number of 0.5 em increments.
In other cases ignored.
Default: 0
row_gap_ruleThe type of vertical spacing between rows of a matrix;
Vertical spacing units can be lines or points (stored as twips).
Default: SingleSpacingGap (0)
row_gapThe value of vertical spacing between rows of a matrix;
If the RowGapRule is set to 3 (“Exactly”), then the unit is interpreted as twips (1/20th of a point)
If the RowGapRule is set to 4 (“Multiple”), then the unit is interpreted as half-lines.
Default: 0

as_argument_of_functionTakes specified function using this instance as the argument and specified additional argument
as_argument_of_functionTakes specified function using this instance as the argument and specified additional argument
set_subscriptCreates subscript
set_subscriptCreates subscript
set_superscriptCreates superscript
set_superscriptCreates superscript
set_sub_superscript_on_the_rightCreates subscript and superscript on the right
set_sub_superscript_on_the_rightCreates subscript and superscript on the right
set_sub_superscript_on_the_leftCreates subscript and superscript on the left

radicalSpecifies the mathematical root of the given degree from the specified argument.
radicalSpecifies the mathematical root of the given degree from the specified argument.
set_upper_limitTakes upper limit
set_upper_limitTakes upper limit
set_lower_limitTakes lower limit
set_lower_limitTakes lower limit
naryCreates a N-ary operator
naryCreates a N-ary operator
integralTakes the integral

integralTakes the integral without limits
integralTakes the integral
integralTakes the integral
groupPlaces this element in a group using a bottom curly bracket
groupPlaces this element in a group using a grouping character such as bottom curly bracket or another
to_border_boxPlaces this element in a border-box
to_border_boxPlaces this element in a border-box
to_math_arrayPuts in a vertical array
accentSets an accent mark (a character on the top of this element)
overbarSets a bar on the top of this element
underbarSets a bar on the bottom of this element
to_boxPlaces this element in a non-visual box (logical grouping)
which is used to group components of an equation or other instance of mathematical text.
A boxed object can (for example) serve as an operator emulator with or without an alignment point,
serve as a line break point, or be grouped such as not to allow line breaks within.
