I want to create a vector of vector of a vector of double and want it to already have (32,32,16) elements, without manually pushing all of these back. Is there a way to do it during initialization? (I dont care what value gets pushed)
Thanks
I want a 3 dimensional array, first dimension has 32, second dimension has 32 and third dimension has 16 elements
One of the ctors for a vector allows you to specify both the size and a value to be copied into the elements for the vector. I'm not quite sure what you means by "(32,32,16)" elements, but you could do something like:
// create a vector containing 16 elements set to 2
std::vector<int> temp(16, 2);
// create a vector of 32 vectors, each with 16 elements set to 2
std::vector<std::vector<int> > values(32, temp);
here you go:
vector<vector<vector<int> > > k(32, vector<vector<int> >(32, vector<int>(16,0)));
I am not even going to ask why you would want such a monstrosity and not just use a single vector with your own indexing scheme.
One liner:
std::vector< std::vector< std::vector<double> > > values(32, std::vector< std::vector<double> >(32, std::vector<double>(16, 0.0)));
Or breaking the lines:
typedef std::vector<double> v_type;
typedef std::vector<v_type> vv_type;
typedef std::vector<vv_type> vvv_type;
vvv_type values(32, vv_type(32, v_type(16, 0.0)));
I would remark that this allocate a fair lot of objects (32*32*16).
Would a single vector work ?
std::vector<double> values(32*32*16, 0.0)
That would be 32*32*16-1 less new.
Since the size is known before hand and you will need to convert the whole array to a 1D array (for OpenGL) why not create a class for it? I have created a template-based implementation of a 3D array which I hope will be useful to you.
Usage:
typedef Array3D<double, 3, 3, 3> DoubleArray333;
DoubleArray333 array;
Double val = 0.0;
for (size_t i = 0; i < DoubleArray333::SizeX; ++i)
{
for (size_t j = 0; j < DoubleArray333::SizeY; ++j)
{
for (size_t k = 0; k < DoubleArray333::SizeZ; ++k)
{
array(i, j, k) = val++;
}
}
}
for (size_t i = 0; i < DoubleArray333::ArraySize; ++i)
{
std::cout<<array[i]<<" ";
}

You can also get the pointer to the array as a 1D by using the function:double* double_array = array.getArray();
EDIT: Changed the usage to show it with double rather than int.
