CrossMatrix

CrossMatrix[r]

gives a matrix whose elements are 1 in a centered cross-shaped region that extends r positions along each index direction, and are 0 otherwise.

CrossMatrix[r,w]

gives a w×w matrix containing a cross-shaped region of 1s.

CrossMatrix[{r1,r2,…},…]

yields an array whose elements are 1 in a centered cross-shaped region that extends ri positions in the i^(th) index direction.

Details

  • The cross of 1s is always at the center of the region.
  • In CrossMatrix[r] or CrossMatrix[{r1,…}] the matrix or array is sized so as to just include all nonzero elements.
  • CrossMatrix[All,w] gives a w×w matrix containing a cross shape that is as large as possible.
  • CrossMatrix[…,{w1,w2,…}] gives a w1×w2×… array.
  • CrossMatrix[{r1,…,rn},w] gives a w×…×w array.
  • CrossMatrix[All,{w1,…,wn}] gives a w1×…×wn array containing a cross-shaped region that is as large as possible.
  • Elements of CrossMatrix[r] are 1 if their edit distance from the center is not more than 1.
  • The parameter r need not be an integer; in an odd-dimensional array, the cross extends Floor[Abs[r+1/2]] pixels from the origin.
  • The lines of the cross have width 1 if the corresponding dimension is odd and width 2 otherwise.
  • For integer r, CrossMatrix[r] yields a (2r+1)×(2r+1) matrix.
