Eddy Hi Nicolas, > I dont think that providing overloading of > Double_t& operator[](Int_t i) > and > Double_t operator[](Int_t i) const yes, you are right. I have misunderstand you. I thought that you want pointer to array. But functions above do not violate encapsulation. There could be some complications for sparced matricies, number of words is less than N*M , but it is solvable.
