Choosing the CppAD Test Vector Template Class
#############################################

Syntax
******
``CPPAD_TESTVECTOR`` ( *Scalar* ) *vec*

Example Simple Vector
*********************
The value *cppad_testvector*
in the :ref:`cmake@CMake Command` must be one of the
following:
``boost`` , ``cppad`` , ``eigen`` , or ``std`` .
It specifies which :ref:`simplevector-name`
corresponds to the template class
:ref:`CPPAD_TESTVECTOR<testvector-name>`
which is used for many of the CppAD examples and tests.

std
***
If *cppad_testvector* is *std* ,
the ``std::vector`` template class is used to define
``CPPAD_TESTVECTOR`` .

cppad
*****
If *cppad_testvector* is *cppad* ,
the :ref:`cppad_vector-name` template class is used to define
``CPPAD_TESTVECTOR`` .

boost
*****
If *cppad_testvector* is *boost* ,
`boost ublas vector <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/vector.htm>`_
template class is used to define
``CPPAD_TESTVECTOR`` .
In this case, the
`cmake FindBoost <http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#module:FindBoost>`_
module must be able to automatically figure out where Boost is installed.

eigen
*****
If *cppad_testvector* is *eigen* ,
one of the eigen template classes is used to define
``CPPAD_TESTVECTOR`` .
In this case,
:ref:`cmake@include_eigen` must be specified on the ``cmake`` command line.
