public class Matrices
extends Object
```
A static factory class used to create matrices. The factory methods are invoked by classes outside this package instead of the constructors, which are package-private.

- Method Detail
  - createMatrix
```
public static RectangularMatrix createMatrix(double[][] data)
```
    Creates a square matrix out of data. Depending on the data dimensions, this will either create a general-form SquareMatrix or one of the subclasses: Matrix2, Matrix3 or Matrix4.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the input data
    
    Returns:
    
    a SquareMatrix instance or one of its subclasses
  - createSquareMatrix
```
public static SquareMatrix createSquareMatrix(double[][] data)
```
  - createIdentityMatrix
```
public static SquareMatrix createIdentityMatrix(int dimension)
```
    Creates an identity matrix with its dimension equal to the argument
    
    Parameters:
    
    dimension - the dimension
    
    Returns:
    
    an identity matrix of the given dimension
