mat

dynamic, 2d, Vec-backed storage with rectangular iterators and in-place resizing

Interface and low-level code stolen from vec2d.

Why this library?

This library was created to use as a rectangular 'window' container for curses-like GUI (or TUI) in graphical applications, after considering the currently available options on crates.io:

• vec_2d::Vec2d<T>, vec2d::Vec2D<T> -- incomplete implementations
• ndarray::Array <T, (Ix,Ix)> -- no in-place resizing, more complex underlying representation
• nalgebra::DMatrix<T> -- no rectangular slicing, no in-place resizing

vec_2d and vec2d provide only incomplete "generic" implementations, while ndarray and nalgebra are more geared towards numerical applications, though they offer more functionality, neither fits the exact needs of this library.
