MatrixIterator steps a Matrix (the "cursor") through an array. The cursor "refers" to storage in the array, so that changing the values in the cursor changes values in the original array.

This class is derived from ArrayIterator; basically it only adds the matrix() member function which allows you to access the cursor as a Matrix.

Tip: The origin of the cursor, i.e. the subarray that moves through the larger array, is always zero.

In this example we want to make a "moment" map of a cube, i.e. collapse the "Z" axis by averaging it.

    Cube<Float> cube;
    MatrixIterator planeIter(cube);
    Matrix<Float> average(planeIter.matrix().copy()); // init with first plane
    planeIter.next(); // advance the iterator
    while (! planeIter.pastEnd()) {
        average += planeIter.matrix(); // Sum the next plane
        planeIter.next();
    }
    average /= Float(cube.shape()(2));  // divide by the number of planes
