\description{
  The \code{Matrix} class is a class contained by all actual
  classes in the \pkg{Matrix} package.  It is a \dQuote{virtual} class.
}
\section{Slots}{
  \describe{
    \item{\code{Dim}}{an integer vector of length 2 giving the
      dimensions of the matrix.}
    \item{\code{Dimnames}}{a list of length 2.  Each element must
      be \code{NULL} or a character vector of length equal to the
      corresponding element of \code{Dim}.}
  }
}
\section{Methods}{
  \describe{
    \item{determinant}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix", logarithm = "missing")}: and}
    \item{determinant}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix", logarithm = "logical")}:
      compute the (\eqn{\log}) determinant of \code{x}.  The method
      chosen depends on the actual Matrix class of \code{x}.  Note that
      \code{\link[base]{det}} also works for all our matrices, calling the
      appropriate \code{determinant()} method.  The \code{Matrix::det}
      is an exact copy of \code{base::det}, but in the correct
      namespace, and hence calling the S4-aware version of
      \code{determinant()}.).}
    \item{diff}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix")}: As \code{\link{diff}()}
      for traditional matrices, i.e., applying \code{diff()} to each
      column.}
    \item{dim}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix")}: extract matrix dimensions
      \code{\link{dim}}.}
    \item{dim<-}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix", value = "ANY")}: where
      \code{value} is integer of length 2.  Allows to \emph{reshape}
      Matrix objects, but only when \code{prod(value) == prod(dim(x))}.}
    \item{dimnames}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix")}: extract
      \code{\link{dimnames}}.}
    \item{dimnames<-}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix", value = "list")}: set
      the \code{dimnames} to a \code{\link{list}} of length 2, see
      \code{\link{dimnames<-}}.}
    \item{length}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix")}: simply defined as
      \code{prod(dim(x))} (and hence of mode \code{"double"}).}
    \item{show}{\code{signature(object = "Matrix")}: \code{\link{show}}
      method for \code{\link{print}}ing.  For printing \emph{sparse}
      matrices, see \code{\link{printSpMatrix}}.}
    \item{zapsmall}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix")}: typically used for
      \code{"\linkS4class{dMatrix}"}: \code{\link{round}()} matrix entries
      such that (relatively) very small entries become zero exactly.}
    \item{image}{\code{signature(object = "Matrix")}: draws an
      \code{\link{image}} of the matrix entries, using
      \code{\link[lattice]{levelplot}()} from package \pkg{lattice}.}
    \item{head}{\code{signature(object = "Matrix")}: return only the
      \emph{\dQuote{head}}, i.e., the first few rows.}
    \item{tail}{\code{signature(object = "Matrix")}: return only the
      \emph{\dQuote{tail}}, i.e., the last few rows of the respective matrix.}
    \cr %------------------------------------
    \item{as.matrix, as.array}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix")}: the same as
      \code{as(x, "matrix")}; see also the note below.}
    \item{as.vector}{\code{signature(x = "Matrix", mode = "missing")}:
      \code{as.vector(m)} should be identical to \code{as.vector(as(m,
	"matrix"))}, implemented more efficiently for some subclasses.}
    \item{as(x, "vector"), as(x, "numeric")}{etc, similarly.}
    \item{coerce}{\code{signature(from = "ANY", to = "Matrix")}: This
      relies on a correct \code{\link{as.matrix}()} method for \code{from}.}
  }
  There are many more methods that (conceptually should) work for all
  \code{"Matrix"} objects, e.g., \code{\link{colSums}},
  \code{\link{rowMeans}}.  Even \pkg{base} functions may work
  automagically (if they first call \code{\link{as.matrix}()} on their
  principal argument), e.g., \code{\link{apply}}, \code{\link{eigen}},
  \code{\link{svd}} or \code{\link{kappa}} all do work via coercion to a
  \dQuote{traditional} (dense) \code{\link{matrix}}.

}
\note{
  Loading the \code{Matrix} namespace \dQuote{overloads}
  \code{\link{as.matrix}} and \code{\link{as.array}} in the \pkg{base}
  namespace by the equivalent of \code{function(x) as(x, "matrix")}.
  Consequently, \code{as.matrix(m)} or \code{as.array(m)} will properly
  work when \code{m} inherits from the \code{"Matrix"} class ---
  \emph{also} for functions in package \pkg{base} and other packages.
  E.g., \code{\link{apply}} or \code{\link{outer}} can therefore be applied
  to \code{"Matrix"} matrices.
