Disclaimer: this page is tailored to very advanced users who are not afraid of dealing with some %Eigen's internal aspects.
In most cases, a custom expression can be avoided by either using custom \ref MatrixBase::unaryExpr "unary" or \ref MatrixBase::binaryExpr "binary" functors,
while extremely complex matrix manipulations can be achieved by a nullary functors as described in the \ref TopicCustomizing_NullaryExpr "previous page".
This page describes with the help of an example how to implement a new
light-weight expression type in %Eigen. This consists of three parts:
the expression type itself, a traits class containing compile-time
