Help:DPL/manual/dplmatrix

This is an auxiliary function module within the DPL package. It takes an indented list of data, and provides a matrix summary view of the same data. It can also be combined with the outputs of regular DPL queries.

Usage

 {{#dplmatrix: name | yes | no | mode | indented list }}

Parameters

There are five parameters which must be given in the order listed here:

1. The name of the matrix. Appears in the upper left cell. Arbitrary wiki formatting (even images) are possible.
2. The symbol for cells which symbolize that the row and column are related (yes). Default is "x".
3. The symbol for cells which symbolize the absence of a link between the row and column (no). Defaults to blank cell.
4. The mode ('normal' or 'flip'); default is 'normal'. When 'flip' is specified, rows and columns will be exchanged.
5. The indented list.
   • source items must start in column 1
   • target items must be indented by at least one space (these are sorted alphabetically for the output display)
   • after the item name you can add "~~" and a 'label'. Row and column titles of the matrix will contain hyperlinks to the items. If labels are specified, they will be used instead of the item names.
   • lines which are empty or contain only spaces are silently ignored.
   • if a source line is not followed by one or more target lines an empty table row (or column in flip mode) will be shown.
   • if the same source line appears multiple times, the targets will be combined.

Examples

Example 2 (flipped matrix)

Input: {{#dplmatrix:Matrix 1|{{yes}}|{{no}}|flip| Asura Helmet Gloves Charr ~~ Rytlock Gloves Human Norn Boots Charr ~~ Rytlock Leggings }}

Output: Matrix 1 Asura Rytlock Human Norn Boots 0 0 0 1 Gloves 1 1 0 0 Helmet 1 0 0 0 Leggings 0 1 0 0
