Title

spmat getmatrix -- Copy a matrix contained in an
spmat object to a Mata matrix

Syntax

spmat getmatrix objname [matname] [, options]

id(vecname) name of a Mata vector to contain IDs

eig(vecname) name of a Mata vector to contain eigenvalues

Description

spmat getmatrix copies the spatial-weighting matrix W contained in
the spmat object objname to the Mata matrix matname.
The place identifiers and the eigenvalues of W can be optionally saved to
Mata vectors.

Example

Setup

. spmat use cobj using pollute.spmat

Copy the contiguity matrix contained in the spmat object cobj to the
Mata matrix mymat

. spmat getmatrix cobj mymat

Copy the eigenvalues contained in the spmat object cobj to the
Mata vector myeig

. spmat getmatrix cobj, eig(myeig)
