The submatrix of matrix A consisting of rows a1-a2 and columns b1-b2
is denoted by A(a1:a2,b1:b2). The parameters a1,a2,b1,b2 may be
either numeric or symbolic (or literal row and column labels).
The following operations are permitted for submatrices:
MAT C=A(a1:a2,b1:b2) / C will be a submatrix of A
MAT C(a1,b1)=A / A will be copied partially over C so that
C(a1,b1) will be A(1,1).
MAT LOAD A(a1:a2,b1:b2),L / see MAT LOAD
MAT LOAD A(*,b1:b2),L / * indicates the whole range (all rows)
Special cases:
MAT C(3,5)=3.2345 / entering a single element
MAT C(1,2)=k
MAT C(0,2)="sum" / label of column 2 will be "sum"
MAT C(5,0)="row5"
