Converter for R matrix to CORBA/IDL matrix

Usage

baseMatrixHandlerGenerator(this)

Arguments

this the matrix to be enclosed in the resulting closure which acts as the implicit source and target of the operations. This objects is the equivalent of the `this' in an object oriented language like C++ or Java.

Description

Create a simple closure that contains methods that implement the basic operations of a matrix withot requiring the matrix to be explicitly required. This is necessary in object oriented interfaces such as CORBA and Java in which we invoke a method on an object rather than a function with the object as the argument.

Details

This is a closure mechanism that is used to implement a simple class mechanism, with simple lookup of ``inherited methods''.

Value

A closure containing a list of functions defined to implement the basic methods of a matrix.
