Hi Craig, Sorry for the delay in this reply. Yes, for no good reason I did not supply a collection-based interface for resize. I have implemented such an interface and checked it into CVS. So the following should work (assuming that A is a 3-dimensional array): boost::array new_extents = {{4,3,2}}; A.resize(new_extents); Let me know if this works for you. ron On Feb 20, 2006, at 4:42 AM, Craig Glasgow wrote:

Hi,

I'm trying to write serialization load and save methods for multi- array. For the load method I have a function with the prototype:

template

inline void load(Archive& ar, boost::multi_array& arr, const unsigned int file_version)

This function gets called when the array is serialized and should populate the multi-array arr. However this requires re-sizing arr which apparently can only be done using the extents construct e.g. arr.resize(boost::extents[3][4][2]), but I want to be able to do this for an arbitray number of dims as with reshape.

Any idea how this can be done?

Regards
