*1. Sympy Matrices are always 2 dimensional, should this be true of
the
generated code as well?*
I think the generated code should reflect the original object. So, if
it's a SymPy 2D Matrix, the generated code should be a 2D Matrix as
well. Changing the dimensionality can always be done on the generated
matrix as needed, but should only be done with the knowledge of the
user.
*2. Should the default be numpy arrays?*
I can't see any reason why not. It's the most general choice.
*3. For inputting matrices to functions, `MatrixSymbol`, or
`DeferredVector`?*
I think going with MatrixSymbol is fine for now. If we need to add
support for DeferredVector, that can be added.
*4. What is an Indexed type for?*
They're for representing tensors. Of course, the can be used for a
number of things, including calculating finite difference formulas. In
my case, tensors are useful for stress analysis, especially in changing
reference frames. Other uses I know about relate to various physics
topics.
I think there's some current work on the Indexed code, so refactoring it
at the moment isn't a good idea.
*5. Would a ctypes CodeWrapper be wanted?* (Not relevant immediately,
but
I'm curious)
I think it's a good idea in general, but not really a high priority. As
something in the future, sure.
Cheers,
Tim.
