I am working on a code in c++ that calulates the eigen vectors of a matrix using the Eigen library. I need only the first column and only the real values of the eigen vector. Is there a way to copy these values to the std::vector
data type? Can someone help me with this?
I saw this Converting Eigen::MatrixXf to 2D std::vector post. But I need only the specific values. Moreover, I am not sure what is the type that eigenvector()
function returns. In the documentation, it is said as complex Eigen::Matrix
type.
This is an example code.
#include<iostream>
#include<Eigen/Eigenvalues>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
struct eigen
{
float a, b, c;
};
int main()
{
vector<Eigen::Matrix3f> A(1);
A[0] << 1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6;
Eigen::EigenSolver<Eigen::Matrix3f> handle(A[0]);
cout << "The matrix of eigenvectors, V, is: " << endl << handle.eigenvectors() << endl << endl;
cout << "The real part of first column is : " << endl <<
handle.eigenvectors().col(0).real() << endl << endl;
return 0;
}
The output of the above code is
The matrix of eigenvectors, V, is:
(0.327985,0) (-0.736977,0) (-0.591009,0)
(0.591009,0) (-0.327985,0) (0.736976,0)
(0.736976,0) (0.591009,0) (-0.327985,0)
The real part of the first column is :
0.327985
0.591009
0.736976
I need to copy the values of handle.eigenvectors().col(0).real()
to std::vector<eigen>
Map is the answer:
Vector3f::Map(&v[0].a) = handle.eigenvectors().col(0).real();
