abs_normal: Print a Vector or Matrix
####################################

Syntax
******
| ``abs_print_mat`` ( *name* , *nr* , *nc* , *mat* )

Prototype
*********
{xrst_literal
   // BEGIN PROTOTYPE
   // END PROTOTYPE
}

Purpose
*******
This routine is used by the :ref:`abs_normal<example_abs_normal-name>` examples to print
vectors and matrices.
A new-line is printed at the end of this output.

name
****
This is a name that is printed before the vector or matrix.

nr
**
This is the number of rows in the matrix. Use *nr*  = 1 for
row vectors.

nc
**
This is the number of columns in the matrix. Use *nc*  = 1 for
column vectors.

mat
***
This is a
:ref:`row-major<glossary@Row-major Representation>` representation
of the matrix (hence a :ref:`SimpleVector-name` ).
The syntax

   *std::cout <<* ``mat`` [ ``i`` ]

must output the *i*-th element of the simple vector *mat* .
