## Detailed Description

The SCDimension class is used to determine the size and blocking of matrices.

The blocking information is stored by an object of class SCBlockInfo.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

sc::SCDimension::SCDimension | ( | int | n,
|  | const char * | name = `0` |
| ) |  |  |

Create a dimension with an optional name.

The name is a copy of the '0' terminated string name.

sc::SCDimension::SCDimension | ( | const Ref< KeyVal > & |  | ) |

The KeyVal constructor.

`n`

  This gives size of the dimension. One of n or blocks is required.

`blocks`

  The block information for the dimension can be given as a SCBlockInfo object. One of n or blocks is required.

## Member Function Documentation

const char* sc::SCDimension::name | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return the name of the dimension.

If no name was given to the constructor, then return 0.

void sc::SCDimension::save_data_state | ( | StateOut & |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Save the base classes (with save_data_state) and the members in the same order that the StateIn CTOR initializes them.

This must be implemented by the derived class if the class has data.

Reimplemented from sc::SavableState.
