have a bunch of M ublas::vector's all of size N, each representing a row of a

algo as a MxN matrix expression?In this context a 'view' means that I don't need
to copy the data in the vectors into a ublas::matrixAlso N >> M, both determined
at runtime (i.e. N and M are not compile time constants).Thanks!

store your vectors as a matrix instead of individual vectors. This will allow
you to work on the matrix as a whole easily and you could use
matrix_row/matrix_column view classes to operate on the individual vectors
inside the matrix when needed since both of these implement the
vector_expression concept. This is essentially what I am doing in one of my
projects and it seems to work well.

I already thought about that, but it means that those parts of code must work
with storage coming from an ublas::vector or from a row in a ublas::matrix, and
that is not possible at the moment.

Thanks anyway!
