Function
Returns the number of terms and the terms of a Product Array.
Syntax
#include <dx/dx.h>
ProductArray DXGetProductArrayInfo(ProductArray a, int *n, Array *terms)
Functional Details
If n is not NULL, this routine returns in *n the number of terms in the product a. If terms is not NULL, it returns in *terms the terms of the product.
Product Arrays provide a compact method for specifying regular and partially regular "positions" components. In their simplest form, a regular n-dimensional grid may be defined by combining n Regular Arrays, each of which specifies a set of points along some n-dimensional delta vector. Partially regular "positions" components may be specified compactly by combining regular and irregular terms.
DXGetProductArrayInfo allows access to the constituent terms of the Product Array and is useful in cases where the terms may be handled independently, or when knowledge of the separate terms make it possible to process the Product Array without expansion. Array handles also provide a mechanism to access individual elements of a Product Array without expansion.
Return Value
Returns a or returns NULL and sets an error code.
