=== Column fields $colanchors ===

Column fields in the form <code>c''N''</code> ($colnames) read the values in the specified column as a {{type|Vector$T}}.
The field produces the same result as an equivalent call to [[#getColumn|<code>getColumn(n)</code>]].

Column fields are also available by indexing by the column number alone (i.e. <code>mat[1]</code>.)

=== Row fields $rowanchors ===

Row fields in the form <code>r''N''</code> ($rownames) read the values in the specified row as a {{type|Vector$T}}.
The field produces the same result as an equivalent call to [[#getRow|<code>getRow(n)</code>]].

=== Value fields $valueanchors ===

Value fields in the form <code>v''RC''</code> ($valuenames) read the value (a {{type|number}}) at the specified row and column.
The row number comes first, then the column number.
