Data Access and Manipulation with O-Matrix
O-Matrix provides extensive capabilities for
working with data from files, applications, devices, and
databases. Directly load data from formats such as Excel,
text files, HDF, WAV files, and PLT files. Low-level utilities are
provided to enable importing and creation of arbitrary ASCII or binary data.
Using the O-Matrix OLE/COM Automation functions
you can leverage the data import and export capabilities of other
applications. O-Matrix can link with compiled objects
from languages such as C/C++ and FORTRAN to enable the use
of custom data input and output routines from within the
O-Matrix language.
The O-Matrix data access and manipulation routines
are highly optimized and can efficiently work with data sets
that contain hundreds of thousands
of data points and using many megabytes. The import
of a multi-megabyte file in O-Matrix takes a fraction
of the time needed by Excel, and is typically much quicker than
the same algorithm implemented in a compiled language.
O-Matrix excels at manipulating and formatting data.
Numeric and textual data can be re-formatted as it is loaded
or manipulated after loading.
Flexible routines are provided to enable sophisticated formatting
and manipulation of various data formats.
