\description{A general numeric dense matrix in the S4 Matrix
  representation.  \code{dgeMatrix} is the \emph{\dQuote{standard}}
  class for dense numeric matrices in the \pkg{Matrix} package.
}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
  Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("dgeMatrix", ...)}
  or, more commonly, by coercion from the \code{Matrix} class (see
  \linkS4class{Matrix}) or by \code{\link{Matrix}(..)}.
}
\section{Slots}{
  \describe{
    \item{\code{x}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} - the numeric
      values contained in the matrix, in column-major order.}
    \item{\code{Dim}:}{Object of class \code{"integer"} - the dimensions
     of the matrix - must be an integer vector with exactly two
     non-negative values.}
    \item{\code{Dimnames}:}{a list of length two - inherited from class
      \code{\linkS4class{Matrix}}.}
    \item{\code{factors}:}{Object of class \code{"list"} - a list
      of factorizations of the matrix.}
  }
}
\section{Methods}{
  The are group methods (see, e.g., \code{\link{Arith}})
  \describe{
    \item{Arith}{\code{signature(e1 = "dgeMatrix", e2 = "dgeMatrix")}: ... }
    \item{Arith}{\code{signature(e1 = "dgeMatrix", e2 = "numeric")}: ... }

  and other matrix methods available:
  \describe{
    \item{\%*\%}{\code{signature(x = "dgeMatrix", y = "dgeMatrix")}:
      Matrix multiplication; ditto for several other signature
      combinations, see \code{showMethods("\%*\%", class = "dgeMatrix")}.}

      ditto for several other signatures, use
      \code{showMethods("crossprod", class = "dgeMatrix")}, matrix
      crossproduct, an efficient version of \code{t(x) \%*\% y}.}
