Description of MakeMatrix

The unit called MakeMatrix is an input unit that creates a 2-dimensional matrix. The user can choose the dimensions of the matrix (not necessarily square). The user can also choose to fill the matrix with values. Choices are to fill with: If the matrix is square, the user can also choose to fill it in a symmetric, diagonal, or antisymmetric way. In the case of filling with integers, the method attempts to follow the appropriate algorithm but places new integers only where the symmetry constraints allow.
 

Using MakeMatrix

MakeMatrix's parameter window (double-click on the unit while holding down the Control key) is used to implement the choices given above.
