\title{Sparse logical matrices}
\description{The \code{lsparseMatrix} class is a virtual class of sparse
  matrices with \code{TRUE}/\code{FALSE} entries.  Only the positions of the
  elements that are \code{TRUE} are stored.  These can be stored in the
  ``triplet'' form (classes \code{lgTMatrix}, \code{lsTMatrix}, and
  \code{ltTMatrix} which really contain pairs, not triplets) or in
  compressed column-oriented form (classes \code{lgCMatrix},
  \code{lsCMatrix}, and \code{ltCMatrix}) or in compressed row-oriented
  form (classes \code{lgRMatrix}, \code{lsRMatrix}, and
  \code{ltRMatrix}).  The second letter in the name of these non-virtual
  classes indicates \code{g}eneral, \code{s}ymmetric, or \code{t}riangular.
}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
  Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("lgCMatrix",
    ...)} and so on.  More frequently objects are created by coercion of
  a numeric sparse matrix to the logical form for use in
  the symbolic analysis phase
  of an algorithm involving sparse matrices.  Such algorithms often
  involve two phases: a symbolic phase wherein the positions of the
  non-zeros in the result are determined and a numeric phase wherein the
  actual results are calculated.  During the symbolic phase only the
  positions of the non-zero elements in any operands are of interest,
  hence any numeric sparse matrices can be treated as logical sparse
  matrices.

  \describe{
    \item{\code{uplo}:}{Object of class \code{"character"}. Must be
      either "U", for upper triangular, and "L", for lower
      triangular. Present in the triangular and symmetric classes but not
      in the general class.}
    \item{\code{diag}:}{Object of class \code{"character"}. Must be
      either \code{"U"}, for unit triangular (diagonal is all ones), or
      \code{"N"} for non-unit.  The implicit diagonal elements are not
      explicitly stored when \code{diag} is \code{"U"}.  Present in the
      triangular classes only.}
    \item{\code{p}:}{Object of class \code{"integer"} of pointers, one
      for each column (row), to the initial (zero-based) index of elements in
      the column.  Present in compressed column-oriented and compressed
      row-oriented forms only.}
    \item{\code{i}:}{Object of class \code{"integer"} of length nnzero
      (number of non-zero elements).  These are the row numbers for
      each TRUE element in the matrix.  All other elements are FALSE.
      Present in triplet and compressed column-oriented forms only.}
    \item{\code{j}:}{Object of class \code{"integer"} of length nnzero
      (number of non-zero elements).  These are the column numbers for
      each TRUE element in the matrix.  All other elements are FALSE.
      Present in triplet and compressed column-oriented forms only.}
    \item{\code{Dim}:}{Object of class \code{"integer"} - the dimensions
      of the matrix.}
