I would like to fulfill a matrix with multido (because I will have tons of matrices to write). I would like to do something like this but that does not work

\documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath,multido,ifthen} \begin{document} $$\begin{pMatrix}\multido{\i=1+1}{13}{% \multido{\I=1+1}{7}{% 1\ifthenelse{\I<7}{&}{\\}}} \end{pmatrix}$$ \end{document}

If someone has a good idea...

  • Do you want a 6-by-12 matrix of 1’s? Commented Nov 16, 2020 at 8:46
  • It is an example. In my work, the values could change. Commented Nov 16, 2020 at 9:28
  • So you want to be able to specify an m-by-n matrix with constant coefficient? Commented Nov 16, 2020 at 9:44
  • Not related: In LaTeX, you should use \[ and \] and not $$. See here. Commented Nov 16, 2020 at 10:21
  • Emacs provides a very powerful feature for composing any matrix: you compose the matrix in Calc syntax: [[a b c d] [ef g h]] and call the calc-embeded function. Calc instantly converts the matrix to LaTeX syntax \begin{pmatrix} a & b & c & d \\ e & f & g & h \end{pmatrix}. You need to call calc-embedded to revert to LaTeX editing. Since it is easy to repeat any entry any number of times, you can compose a matrix like the one you want very quickly. Commented Nov 18, 2020 at 13:14

You can use \pAutoNiceMatrix of nicematrix to construct whatever matrix you want.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{nicematrix} \usepackage{ifthen} \begin{document} \[\pAutoNiceMatrix{13-13}{\ifthenelse{\arabic{iRow}<\arabic{jCol}}{1}{0}}\] \end{document}

iRow is the LaTeX counter for the current row and jCol for the current column. They are defined by nicematrix.

Output of the above code

  • The answer is fantastic....for my humble opinion ...For me it is strange that it was with 0 score. Commented Nov 16, 2020 at 21:15
