2 virtual matrices from 1 real matrix
« on: January 15, 2019, 10:52:55 PM »
Hi All,

Does anyone have any experience with creating 2 (or more) virtual matrices from 1 real matrix?  I am trying to split the matrix in half on the back of my boat and adding them to left and right side groups.  The real matrix is 20x4 and I am trying to create 2 virtual 10x4 matrices on the back of the boat instead.

So, starting from the right side (the real start) the real matrix of pixels looks like this:
20 <- 1
21 -> 40
60 <- 41
61 -> 80

Left Virtual Matrix                          Right virtual matrix
20 <- 11                                       10 <- 1
21 -> 30                                       31 -> 40
60 <- 51                                       50 <- 41
61 -> 70                                       71 -> 80

Will these custom models work?  It always flags me for overlap.

Rick

What about a submodel.

I did the opposite -- took two physical boscoyo matrixes and joined them to make one.

Just had to get the channels right and yes you do get a warning .. no harm.

Overlapping model channels
    WARN: Probable model overlap 'Matrix - 1L' (12241-14832) and 'Matrix - 1L-Virtual' (12241-14832).
    WARN: Probable model overlap 'Matrix - 2R' (15301-17892) and 'Matrix - 2R-Virtual' (15301-17892).

As keith said though .. sounds like a case for a couple of submodels.

You can also just use the buffer options to limit effects to the right or left half of the matrix.

Hmm.  Sub models?  I have modeled the two sides as previously shown.  Is there a submodel function that I am unfamiliar with or are the models shown really the submodels?

Thanks for the response.

Yes there is a submodel function you are unfamiliar with.  Look at all the model parameters.

Great input.  Thanks for the direction.  I will also check out the buffer options.
