Draw Sparse Pattern VI
Owning Palette: Visualization VIs
Requires: Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix Toolkit
Draws the pattern of elements in a sparse matrix. The pattern shows the coordinates, the row and column indices, of elements in the sparse matrix. This VI ignores the actual values of elements in the sparse matrix.
Wire data to the Sparse Matrix input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
Draw Sparse Pattern (DBL)

![]() |
Sparse Matrix specifies the input sparse matrix. |
![]() |
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. |
![]() |
Sparse Pattern Plot returns an XY graph that shows the pattern of elements in Sparse Matrix. |
![]() |
number of rows returns the number of rows in Sparse Matrix. |
![]() |
number of columns returns the number of columns in Sparse Matrix. |
![]() |
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
