Sorry for the long post, but I'm trying to wrap my head around NSData,
NSMutableData and matrices.
So I made an example to test my (mis)conception of how this all should
work.
Here it is:
- (void) matrixTesting
{
int numRows = 5;
int numCols = 7;
NSMutableData *theMatrix = [NSMutableData dataWithLength:(numRows *
numCols * sizeof(float))];
[theMatrix retain];
float *matrix = [theMatrix mutableBytes];
// Set row 3, col 5 to 3.333
matrix[(3 * numRows) + 5] = 3.333;
// Set row 2, col 4 to 6.666
matrix[(2 * numRows) + 4] = 6.666;
int i,j;
for(i=0;i < numRows;i++)
for(j=0;j < numCols;j++)
NSLog(@"Row %i, Col %i = %f", i, j, matrix[i * numRows
+ j]);
int getRow = 3;
NSRange rowRange = {
getRow * numRows, numCols * sizeof(float)
};
float theRow[numCols];
[theMatrix getBytes:theRow range:rowRange];
for(i=0;i < numCols;i++)
NSLog(@"\n Row test --------> Row 3, index %i = %f", i,
theRow[i]);
[theMatrix release];
}
And here's the output:

2009-03-29 09:26:18.353 [1565:813] Row test --------> Row 3, index 6 =
0.000000
So why would it set row 4, col 0 to 3.333? And why didn't the range I
pulled out for row 3 contain the 3.333?
Obviously I'm not understanding a couple of things here, so any help
very much appreciated!
