Class MatrixInfo

public class MatrixInfo
extends GridObjectInfo

The MatrixInfo class is a representation of the matrix grid object.
This provides operations for retrieving and creating grid objects in the system. MatrixInfo is retrieved using the built-in getMatrix() function. Write capability is dependent on the context in which getMatrix() is called. For example, in a Joblet process on a resource or in a Computed Fact, creating new grid objects is not supported.
