# SparseAttributes_t

A structure that represents the attributes of a matrix.

```
struct SparseAttributes_t
```

## Topics

### Creating a New Attributes Structure

[`init()`](/documentation/Accelerate/SparseAttributes_t/init())

Returns a new sparse attributes structure.

### Instance Properties

[`transpose`](/documentation/Accelerate/SparseAttributes_t/transpose)

A Boolean value that specifies whether to implicitly transpose the matrix.

[`triangle`](/documentation/Accelerate/SparseAttributes_t/triangle)

An enumeration that specifies which triangle unit-triangular, triangular, and symmetric matrices need to use.

[`SparseTriangle_t`](/documentation/Accelerate/SparseTriangle_t)

A structure that defines which triangle a symmetric matrix stores, or whether a triangular matrix is upper or lower.

[`kind`](/documentation/Accelerate/SparseAttributes_t/kind)

An eumeration that specifies whether the matrix is ordinary, unit-triangular, triangular, or symmetric.

[`SparseKind_t`](/documentation/Accelerate/SparseKind_t)

A structure that defines whether the matrix is ordinary, symmetric, or triangular.
