PM Procedure

Performs formatted output of matrices to the standard output stream (logical file unit -1).

PM, expr₁, ..., expr_n

expr_i Expression to be output.

Format If not specified, PV-WAVE uses its default rules for formatting the output. Keyword Format allows the format to be specified in precise detail, using FORTRAN-style specifications.

Title If present, specifies a character string to be used as the title of the output matrix. Only one title is printed, regardless of the number of expressions sent to PM.

Procedure PM formats output to the standard output stream of matrices stored in the PV-WAVE linear algebra matrix-storage mode. This procedure is designed to be used when working with matrices read by the procedures RM or RMF or other matrices using the PV-WAVE matrix-storage scheme.

By using keywords, the form of the output matrix can be customized. Keyword Title can be used to specify a character string to be used as a title. Keyword Format is provided to allow for explicitly formatted output.

In this example, a 2-by-3 matrix is read using the matrix-reading procedure RM and the results are printed using the matrix-printing procedure PM.

RM, a, 2, 3

; Read in a 2-by-3 matrix.

row 0: 11 22 33
row 1: 40 50 60
PM, a

11.0000           22.0000           33.0000
40.0000           50.0000           60.0000

; Output the matrix to standard output.
