Do you mean that you want to change the sparsity pattern? We do not have a
function which does this. It would
require a copy to regain the lost memory, and its not normally worth the
trouble.

Do you have some data or a model that tells you its worth it in your case?
This is a question I
always ask myself before programming.

  Thanks,
