<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">This was more of a curiosity question. Armadillo and Eigen are great and I will likely use them for most of my purposes. I have just been exploring more of the boost library and was wondering about it. That
said, it would be a potentially useful exercise for me when I have some more time to devote to it. You mention starting with the as<>() and wrap() converters. Is there any documentation on developing additional Rcpp functions or should I just go in to the
source and try to find my way around?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Correct, as far as Rcpp is concerned uBlas is 'a new external entity' so you<br>
would have to start with as<>() and wrap() converters.<br>
<br>
Almost everybody I talked to about ublas "is aware" of it, yet nobody seems<br>
to like it all that much. Any reason Armadillo or Eigen won't do for you?<br>
