% \begin{abstract}
% This package provides a set of new commands for representing vectors in
% various ways. The commonly-used bold and underlined notations are
% supported, as is the `hat' notation for representing unit vectors. Macros
% are also provided to represent a row or column vector as a set of
% elements.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Introduction}
% \LaTeXe{} provides the |\vec| command to represent vectors in math mode;
% |$\vec{a}$|, for example, produces $\vec{a}$. In the author's experience,
% vectors are more commonly represented either in bold face roman
% type or else by means of underlining. Another convenient notation is the
% use of the `hat' to indicate a unit-length vector. This
% package defines more suitable representations for vectors and unit
% vectors, using different fonts (boldface roman and sans serif) and two
% kinds of underlining (straight and wavy). It also defines macros which
% represent row or column vectors as implicit or explicit sequences of
% elements.
%
% \section{Examples}
% Six new commands are defined for representing vectors with a single
% (possibly composite) symbol. They are shown, with sample output, in
% table~\ref{t.commands}. Unlike |\vec|, the new commands can be used in
% text mode as well as math mode.

% \DescribeMacro{\uvec}\DescribeMacro{\uuvec}
% By default, |\uvec| and |\uuvec| underline a symbol using a
% straight line. If a wavy line is prefered, then the |wavy| package option
% should be specified.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\irvec}\DescribeMacro{\icvec}
% Another set of commands are defined which can represent a vector as a row
% or column of elements. |\irvec| and |\icvec| generate `implicit' row and
% column vectors, respectively. Here, only the first and last elements
% actually appear; |\ldots| is used to imply the existance of the rest.
% Both macros take one mandatory argument, a character which names the
% vector. By default, the first and last elements are constructed from this
% character and the subscripts `1' and $n$, respectively. An optional
% argument allows final subscripts other than $n$ to be specified. The
% subscript for the first element cannot be altered in this way, but then
% it is not likely that you will want to change this often.
% \DescribeMacro{\firstelement}
% If you do need to change it, the command |\firstelement| can be used.
% Table~\ref{t.irvec} shows some sample output for |\irvec|.

% \end{table}
% \DeleteShortVerb{\+}
% \MakeShortVerb{\|}
%
% The syntax for |\icvec| is the same as that for |\irvec|. One important
% difference is that |\icvec| can only be used in math mode, whereas
% |\irvec| can be used in both math and text modes. For example,
% |\buvec{q} = \left(\icvec{q}\right)| produces
% $$\buvec{q} = \left(\icvec{q}\right)$$
%
% \DescribeMacro{\rvec}\DescribeMacro{\cvec}
% The final pair of macros, |\rvec| and |\cvec|, provide \emph{explicit}
% representations of a vector as a row or column of elements, i.e., all
% elements of the vector are shown\footnote{Clearly, these macros are
% suitable only for vectors with comparatively small numbers of elements!}.
% Three mandatory arguments are used to specify the name of the vector,
% an integer subscript for the first element and an integer subscript for
% the final element. For instance, |\bvec{x} = \{\rvec{x}{1}{6}\}| produces
% $$\uvec{x} = \{\rvec{x}{1}{6}\} \qquad$$
% and |\bvec{y} = \left[\cvec{y}{0}{3}\right]| gives
% $$\bvec{y} = \left[\cvec{y}{0}{3}\right]$$
% As with the implicit macros, |\rvec| may be used in both math and text
% modes, whereas |\cvec| may only be used in math mode.

% \section{The Macros}
% \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% We require that the \textsf{ifthen} and \textsf{calc} packages are loaded:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{ifthen}
\RequirePackage{calc}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% A boolean variable is defined and set to \emph{true} if the |wavy|
% package option has been specified:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newboolean{@wavy}
\DeclareOption{wavy}{\setboolean{@wavy}{true}}
\ProcessOptions
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\bvec}
% |\bvec| represents a vector using a bold series roman character.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\bvec}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathbf{#1}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\buvec}
% |\buvec| represents a unit vector as a bold roman character with a hat.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\buvec}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathbf{\hat{#1}}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\svec}
% |\svec| represents a vector as a sans serif character.
% family.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\svec}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathsf{#1}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\suvec}
% |\suvec| represents a unit vector as a sans serif character with a hat.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\suvec}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathsf{\hat{#1}}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% How we define underlined vectors depends on the value of boolean variable
% |@wavy|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifthenelse{\boolean{@wavy}}{%
  \PackageInfo{vector}{wavy underlining selected}
%    \end{macrocode}
% If |@wavy| is set then we define a macro |\undertilde|\footnote{Note
% that I didn't write this macro. Unfortunately, I cannot give proper
% credit as I do not recall how I came by it!}, which places a
% tilde symbol underneath its argument:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \newcommand{\undertilde}[1]{\mathord{\vtop{\ialign{##\crcr
    $\hfil\displaystyle{#1}\hfil$\crcr\noalign{\kern1.5pt\nointerlineskip}
    $\hfil\tilde{}\hfil$\crcr\noalign{\kern1.5pt}}}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \begin{macro}{\uvec}
% We then define |\uvec| in terms of |\undertilde|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \newcommand{\uvec}[1]{\ensuremath{\undertilde{#1}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\uuvec}
% And similarly define |\uuvec|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \newcommand{\uuvec}[1]{\ensuremath{\hat{\undertilde{#1}}}}}{%
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% If |@wavy| is not set, then we define |\uvec| and |\uuvec| in terms of
% |\underline|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \newcommand{\uvec}[1]{\ensuremath{\underline{#1}}}
  \newcommand{\uuvec}[1]{\ensuremath{\hat{\underline{#1}}}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\firstelement}
% Now we define a variable to store the subscript used for the first element
% of a row or column vector, along with a command which can be used to
% alter that variable:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\first@element{1}
\newcommand{\firstelement}[1]{\def\first@element{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\irvec}
% The |\irvec| command is very simple:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\irvec}[2][n]{\ensuremath{{#2}_{\first@element},\ldots,{#2}_{#1}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\icvec}
% The |\icvec| command uses an |array| environment, and so can only be used
% in a math environment:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\icvec}[2][n]{%
  \begin{array}{c}
    {#2}_{\first@element}\\ \vdots\\ {#2}_{#1}
  \end{array}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% For |\rvec| and |\cvec|, we must define a loop counter which stores the
% current subscript of a vector element:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcounter{vec@elem}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \begin{macro}{\rvec}
% Now we define |\rvec|. We must check that the last subscript for the
% vector elements (|#3|) is greater than the first subscript (|#2|). If this
% is so, then we use |\whiledo| to loop over specified range of values,
% generating a vector element with subscript |vec@elem| followed by a comma
% on each iteration. Otherwise, we simply generate a single vector element.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\rvec}[3]{%
  \ensuremath{%
    \ifthenelse{#3 > #2}{%
      \setcounter{vec@elem}{#2}
      \whiledo{\value{vec@elem} < #3}%
        {{#1}_{\thevec@elem}, \stepcounter{vec@elem}}%
      {#1}_{#3}}{{#1}_{#2}}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\cvec}
% We define |\cvec| in a similar way to |\rvec|, only here we iterate within
% an |array| environment and generate a vector element and a linebreak on
% each iteration.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\cvec}[3]{%
  \ifthenelse{#3 > #2}{%
    \setcounter{vec@elem}{#2}
    \begin{array}{c}
      \whiledo{\value{vec@elem} < #3}%
        {{#1}_{\thevec@elem} \\ \stepcounter{vec@elem}}%
      {#1}_{#3}
    \end{array}}{{#1}_{#2}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
