Dear fellow users,
This question should be waaay to simple, but: how do I calculate the sum of a matrix? According to the help browser:
"Computing the volume beneath a surface
To compute the volume beneath the surface defined by the matrix:
Select Analysis: Mathematics: 2D Volume Integrate. "
Unfortunately, this function doesn't show... I tried removing the local OCTemp folder and restarting but to no avail. Who can tell me where I can find this function?
Many thanks! |

First : The menu only appears when you have a matrix as the active window.
Second : You can access the X-Function via the Script Window as follows...
// BEGIN SCRIPT
integ2 -d
// END SCRIPT
which opens the dialog. You can click OK if a matrix is active or use the data hunt button or Matrix Browser in the fly out to select the matrix.
Third : You mentioned you want the sum of a matrix. The above calculates the integrated area which is different than a raw sum of the values of a matrix. The integral takes into account the X and Y scale values as well as the z values and the sign of the z values.
If you really just want to sum the z values in the matrix, use this:
// BEGIN SCRIPT
range ram = [MBook1]MSheet1!1;
total(ram)=;
// END SCRIPT |
