🛠️ ndarray-vector-uint8c

Welcome to the ndarray-vector-uint8c repository! This project focuses on creating a clamped unsigned 8-bit integer vector, which is essentially a one-dimensional ndarray. This type of data structure is useful in various applications, especially in image processing, where pixel values are often represented as 8-bit integers.

📜 Introduction

The ndarray-vector-uint8c library provides an efficient way to handle unsigned 8-bit integer vectors. These vectors can store values ranging from 0 to 255. The clamping feature ensures that any values outside this range are adjusted to fit within it. This makes the library particularly valuable for tasks involving graphics and data manipulation.

The library is built using JavaScript and is compatible with Node.js. It aims to provide a simple yet powerful API for developers who need to work with numeric data efficiently.

🚀 Installation

To install the ndarray-vector-uint8c library, you can use npm. Run the following command in your terminal:

bash npm install ndarray-vector-uint8c

This command will download the package and add it to your project's dependencies.

📖 Usage

To use the library, you need to require it in your JavaScript file. Here’s a basic example:

```javascript const { VectorUint8C } = require('ndarray-vector-uint8c');

const vector = new VectorUint8C(10); // Create a vector of length 10 vector.set(0, 255); // Set the first element to 255 console.log(vector.get(0)); // Outputs: 255 ```

Clamping Behavior

The clamping feature automatically adjusts any values that exceed the 0-255 range. For example:

javascript vector.set(1, 300); // Attempt to set value outside the range console.log(vector.get(1)); // Outputs: 255

📚 API Documentation

Constructor

The main constructor for creating a new unsigned 8-bit integer vector is VectorUint8C.

Parameters

• length (number): The desired length of the vector.

Example

javascript const vector = new VectorUint8C(5);

Methods

set(index, value)

Sets the value at the specified index. The value is clamped between 0 and 255.

• Parameters:
  • index (number): The index to set.
  • value (number): The value to set.

get(index)

Retrieves the value at the specified index.

• Parameters:
  • index (number): The index to retrieve.

Example

javascript vector.set(2, 128); console.log(vector.get(2)); // Outputs: 128

🌟 Examples

Here are some examples of how to use the ndarray-vector-uint8c library in various scenarios.

Example 1: Basic Vector Operations

```javascript const { VectorUint8C } = require('ndarray-vector-uint8c');

const vector = new VectorUint8C(5); vector.set(0, 100); vector.set(1, 200); vector.set(2, 300); // This will be clamped to 255

console.log(vector.get(0)); // Outputs: 100 console.log(vector.get(1)); // Outputs: 200 console.log(vector.get(2)); // Outputs: 255 ```

Example 2: Iterating Over a Vector

You can iterate over the vector to perform operations on each element.

javascript for (let i = 0; i < vector.length; i++) { console.log(vector.get(i)); }

Example 3: Creating a Vector from an Array

You can initialize a vector with values from an existing array.

```javascript const initialValues = [50, 150, 250]; const vector = new VectorUint8C(initialValues.length);

initialValues.forEach((value, index) => { vector.set(index, value); });

console.log(vector.get(0)); // Outputs: 50 console.log(vector.get(1)); // Outputs: 150 console.log(vector.get(2)); // Outputs: 250 ```
