Re: multidimensional data with user defined type

[Tim Hill <drtimhill@...>]

Qualified yes, depending on what you mean by "directly".

Lua cannot access userdata items directly (that is by design, its not supposed to!). However, you can write your own C/C++ functions and wire them into Lua, then call these functions from Lua, passing the userdata.
