\title{(Virtual) Class "dMatrix" of "double" Matrices}
\description{
  The \code{dMatrix} class is a virtual class contained by all actual
  classes of numeric matrices in the \pkg{Matrix} package.  Similarly,
  all the actual classes of logical matrices inherit from the
  \code{lMatrix} class.
}
%\section{Objects from the Class}{A virtual Class: No objects may be
%  created from it.
%}
\section{Slots}{
  Common to \emph{all} matrix object in the package:
  \describe{
    \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}:}{list of length two; each component
      containing NULL or a \code{\link{character}} vector length
      equal the corresponding \code{Dim} element.}
  }
}
\section{Methods}{
  There are (very simplistic) group methods (see, e.g., \code{\link{Arith}})
  \describe{
    \item{Arith}{\code{signature(e1 = "dMatrix", e2 = "dMatrix")}: ... }
    \item{Arith}{\code{signature(e1 = "dMatrix", e2 = "numeric")}: ... }
    \item{Arith}{\code{signature(e1 = "numeric", e2 = "dMatrix")}: ... }
    \item{Math}{\code{signature(x = "dMatrix")}: ... }
    \item{Math2}{\code{signature(x = "dMatrix", digits = "numeric")}: ...}
  }
