\description{
  The \code{"nsyMatrix"} class is the class of symmetric, dense nonzero-pattern
  matrices in non-packed storage and \code{"nspMatrix"} is the class of
  of these in packed storage.  Only the upper triangle or the
  lower triangle is stored.
}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
  Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("nsyMatrix", ...)}.
}
\section{Slots}{
  \describe{
    \item{\code{uplo}:}{Object of class \code{"character"}. Must be
      either "U", for upper triangular, and "L", for lower triangular.}
    \item{\code{x}:}{Object of class \code{"logical"}. The logical
      values that constitute the matrix, stored in column-major order.}
    \item{\code{Dim},\code{Dimnames}:}{The dimension (a length-2
      \code{"integer"}) and corresponding names (or \code{NULL}), see the
      \code{\linkS4class{Matrix}} class.}
    \item{\code{factors}:}{Object of class \code{"list"}.  A named
      list of factorizations that have been computed for the matrix.}
  }
}
\section{Extends}{
  \code{"nsyMatrix"} extends class \code{"ngeMatrix"}, directly, whereas\cr
  \code{"nspMatrix"} extends class \code{"ndenseMatrix"}, directly.

  Both extend class \code{"symmetricMatrix"}, directly,
  and class \code{"Matrix"} and others, \emph{in}directly, use
  \code{\link{showClass}("nsyMatrix")}, e.g., for details.
}
\section{Methods}{
  Currently, mainly \code{\link{t}()} and coercion methods (for
  \code{\link{as}(.)}; use, e.g.,
  \code{\link{showMethods}(class="dsyMatrix")} for details.
