-Array indexing
-==============
-
-Array indexing refers to any use of the square brackets ([]) to index
-array values. There are many options to indexing, which give numpy
-indexing great power, but with power comes some complexity and the
-potential for confusion. This section is just an overview of the
-various options and issues related to indexing. Aside from single
-element indexing, the details on most of these options are to be
-found in related sections.
-
-Assignment vs referencing
-=========================
-
-Most of the following examples show the use of indexing when
-referencing data in an array. The examples work just as well
-when assigning to an array. See the section at the end for
-specific examples and explanations on how assignments work.
-
-Single element indexing
-=======================
-
-Single element indexing for a 1-D array is what one expects. It work
-exactly like that for other standard Python sequences. It is 0-based,
-and accepts negative indices for indexing from the end of the array. ::
-
-    >>> x = np.arange(10)
-    >>> x[2]
-    2
-    >>> x[-2]
-    8
-
-Unlike lists and tuples, numpy arrays support multidimensional indexing
-for multidimensional arrays. That means that it is not necessary to
-separate each dimension's index into its own set of square brackets. ::
-
-    >>> x.shape = (2,5) # now x is 2-dimensional
-    >>> x[1,3]
-    8
-    >>> x[1,-1]
-    9
-
-Note that if one indexes a multidimensional array with fewer indices
-than dimensions, one gets a subdimensional array. For example: ::
-
-    >>> x[0]
-    array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
-
-That is, each index specified selects the array corresponding to the
-rest of the dimensions selected. In the above example, choosing 0
-means that remaining dimension of lenth 5 is being left unspecified,
-and that what is returned is an array of that dimensionality and size.
-It must be noted that the returned array is not a copy of the original,
-but points to the same values in memory as does the original array.
-In  this case, the 1-D array at the first position (0) is returned.
-So using a single index on the returned array, results in a single
-element being returned. That is: ::
-
-    >>> x[0][2]
-    2
-
-So note that ``x[0,2] = x[0][2]`` though the second case is more
-inefficient a new temporary array is created after the first index
-that is subsequently indexed by 2.
-
-Note to those used to IDL or Fortran memory order as it relates to
-indexing.  Numpy uses C-order indexing. That means that the last
-index usually represents the most rapidly changing memory location,
-unlike Fortran or IDL, where the first index represents the most
-rapidly changing location in memory. This difference represents a
-great potential for confusion.
-
-Other indexing options
-======================
-
-It is possible to slice and stride arrays to extract arrays of the
-same number of dimensions, but of different sizes than the original.
-The slicing and striding works exactly the same way it does for lists
-and tuples except that they can be applied to multiple dimensions as
-well. A few examples illustrates best: ::
-
- >>> x = np.arange(10)
- >>> x[2:5]
- array([2, 3, 4])
- >>> x[:-7]
- array([0, 1, 2])
- >>> x[1:7:2]
- array([1, 3, 5])
- >>> y = np.arange(35).reshape(5,7)
- >>> y[1:5:2,::3]
- array([[ 7, 10, 13],
-        [21, 24, 27]])
-
-Note that slices of arrays do not copy the internal array data but
-also produce new views of the original data.
-
-It is possible to index arrays with other arrays for the purposes of
-selecting lists of values out of arrays into new arrays. There are
-two different ways of accomplishing this. One uses one or more arrays
-of index values. The other involves giving a boolean array of the proper
-shape to indicate the values to be selected. Index arrays are a very
-powerful tool that allow one to avoid looping over individual elements in
-arrays and thus greatly improve performance.
-
-It is possible to use special features to effectively increase the
-number of dimensions in an array through indexing so the resulting
-array aquires the shape needed for use in an expression or with a
-specific function.
-
-Index arrays
-============
-
-Numpy arrays may be indexed with other arrays (or any other sequence-
-like object that can be converted to an array, such as lists, with the
-exception of tuples; see the end of this document for why this is). The
-use of index arrays ranges from simple, straightforward cases to
-complex, hard-to-understand cases. For all cases of index arrays, what
-is returned is a copy of the original data, not a view as one gets for
-slices.
-
-Index arrays must be of integer type. Each value in the array indicates
-which value in the array to use in place of the index. To illustrate: ::
-
- >>> x = np.arange(10,1,-1)
- >>> x
- array([10,  9,  8,  7,  6,  5,  4,  3,  2])
- >>> x[np.array([3, 3, 1, 8])]
- array([7, 7, 9, 2])
-
-
-The index array consisting of the values 3, 3, 1 and 8 correspondingly
-create an array of length 4 (same as the index array) where each index
-is replaced by the value the index array has in the array being indexed.
-
-Negative values are permitted and work as they do with single indices
-or slices: ::
-
- >>> x[np.array([3,3,-3,8])]
- array([7, 7, 4, 2])
-
-It is an error to have index values out of bounds: ::
-
- >>> x[np.array([3, 3, 20, 8])]
- <type 'exceptions.IndexError'>: index 20 out of bounds 0<=index<9
-
-Generally speaking, what is returned when index arrays are used is
-an array with the same shape as the index array, but with the type
-and values of the array being indexed. As an example, we can use a
-multidimensional index array instead: ::
-
- >>> x[np.array([[1,1],[2,3]])]
- array([[9, 9],
-        [8, 7]])
-
-Indexing Multi-dimensional arrays
-=================================
-
-Things become more complex when multidimensional arrays are indexed,
-particularly with multidimensional index arrays. These tend to be
-more unusal uses, but theyare permitted, and they are useful for some
-problems. We'll  start with thesimplest multidimensional case (using
-the array y from the previous examples): ::
-
- >>> y[np.array([0,2,4]), np.array([0,1,2])]
- array([ 0, 15, 30])
-
-In this case, if the index arrays have a matching shape, and there is
-an index array for each dimension of the array being indexed, the
-resultant array has the same shape as the index arrays, and the values
-correspond to the index set for each position in the index arrays. In
-this example, the first index value is 0 for both index arrays, and
-thus the first value of the resultant array is y[0,0]. The next value
-is y[2,1], and the last is y[4,2].
-
-If the index arrays do not have the same shape, there is an attempt to
-broadcast them to the same shape.  If they cannot be broadcast to the
-same shape, an exception is raised: ::
-
- >>> y[np.array([0,2,4]), np.array([0,1])]
- <type 'exceptions.ValueError'>: shape mismatch: objects cannot be
- broadcast to a single shape
-
-The broadcasting mechanism permits index arrays to be combined with
-scalars for other indices. The effect is that the scalar value is used
-for all the corresponding values of the index arrays: ::
-
- >>> y[np.array([0,2,4]), 1]
- array([ 1, 15, 29])
-
-Jumping to the next level of complexity, it is possible to only
-partially index an array with index arrays. It takes a bit of thought
-to understand what happens in such cases. For example if we just use
-one index array with y: ::
-
- >>> y[np.array([0,2,4])]
- array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6],
-        [14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20],
-        [28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34]])
-
-What results is the construction of a new array where each value of
-the index array selects one row from the array being indexed and the
-resultant array has the resulting shape (size of row, number index
-elements).
-
-An example of where this may be useful is for a color lookup table
-where we want to map the values of an image into RGB triples for
-display. The lookup table could have a shape (nlookup, 3). Indexing
-such an array with an image with shape (ny, nx) with dtype=np.uint8
-(or any integer type so long as values are with the bounds of the
-lookup table) will result in an array of shape (ny, nx, 3) where a
-triple of RGB values is associated with each pixel location.
-
-In general, the shape of the resulant array will be the concatenation
-of the shape of the index array (or the shape that all the index arrays
-were broadcast to) with the shape of any unused dimensions (those not
-indexed) in the array being indexed.
-
-Boolean or "mask" index arrays
-==============================
-
-Boolean arrays used as indices are treated in a different manner
-entirely than index arrays. Boolean arrays must be of the same shape
-as the initial dimensions of the array being indexed. In the
-most straightforward case, the boolean array has the same shape: ::
-
- >>> b = y>20
- >>> y[b]
- array([21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34])
-
-The result is a 1-D array containing all the elements in the indexed
-array corresponding to all the true elements in the boolean array. As
-with index arrays, what is returned is a copy of the data, not a view
-as one gets with slices.
-
-The result will be multidimensional if y has more dimensions than b.
-For example: ::
-
- >>> b[:,5] # use a 1-D boolean whose first dim agrees with the first dim of y
- array([False, False, False,  True,  True], dtype=bool)
- >>> y[b[:,5]]
- array([[21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27],
-        [28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34]])
-
-Here the 4th and 5th rows are selected from the indexed array and
-combined to make a 2-D array.
-
-In general, when the boolean array has fewer dimensions than the array
-being indexed, this is equivalent to y[b, ...], which means
-y is indexed by b followed by as many : as are needed to fill
-out the rank of y.
-Thus the shape of the result is one dimension containing the number
-of True elements of the boolean array, followed by the remaining
-dimensions of the array being indexed.
-
-For example, using a 2-D boolean array of shape (2,3)
-with four True elements to select rows from a 3-D array of shape
-(2,3,5) results in a 2-D result of shape (4,5): ::
-
- >>> x = np.arange(30).reshape(2,3,5)
- >>> x
- array([[[ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4],
-         [ 5,  6,  7,  8,  9],
-         [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]],
-        [[15, 16, 17, 18, 19],
-         [20, 21, 22, 23, 24],
-         [25, 26, 27, 28, 29]]])
- >>> b = np.array([[True, True, False], [False, True, True]])
- >>> x[b]
- array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4],
-        [ 5,  6,  7,  8,  9],
-        [20, 21, 22, 23, 24],
-        [25, 26, 27, 28, 29]])
-
-For further details, consult the numpy reference documentation on array indexing.
-
-Combining index arrays with slices
-==================================
-
-Index arrays may be combined with slices. For example: ::
-
- >>> y[np.array([0,2,4]),1:3]
- array([[ 1,  2],
-        [15, 16],
-        [29, 30]])
-
-In effect, the slice is converted to an index array
-np.array([[1,2]]) (shape (1,2)) that is broadcast with the index array
-to produce a resultant array of shape (3,2).
-
-Likewise, slicing can be combined with broadcasted boolean indices: ::
-
- >>> y[b[:,5],1:3]
- array([[22, 23],
-        [29, 30]])
-
-Structural indexing tools
-=========================
-
-To facilitate easy matching of array shapes with expressions and in
-assignments, the np.newaxis object can be used within array indices
-to add new dimensions with a size of 1. For example: ::
-
- >>> y.shape
- (5, 7)
- >>> y[:,np.newaxis,:].shape
- (5, 1, 7)
-
-Note that there are no new elements in the array, just that the
-dimensionality is increased. This can be handy to combine two
-arrays in a way that otherwise would require explicitly reshaping
-operations. For example: ::
-
- >>> x = np.arange(5)
- >>> x[:,np.newaxis] + x[np.newaxis,:]
- array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
-        [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
-        [2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
-        [3, 4, 5, 6, 7],
-        [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]])
-
-The ellipsis syntax maybe used to indicate selecting in full any
-remaining unspecified dimensions. For example: ::
-
- >>> z = np.arange(81).reshape(3,3,3,3)
- >>> z[1,...,2]
- array([[29, 32, 35],
-        [38, 41, 44],
-        [47, 50, 53]])
-
-This is equivalent to: ::
-
- >>> z[1,:,:,2]
- array([[29, 32, 35],
-        [38, 41, 44],
-        [47, 50, 53]])
-
-Assigning values to indexed arrays
-==================================
-
-As mentioned, one can select a subset of an array to assign to using
-a single index, slices, and index and mask arrays. The value being
-assigned to the indexed array must be shape consistent (the same shape
-or broadcastable to the shape the index produces). For example, it is
-permitted to assign a constant to a slice: ::
-
- >>> x = np.arange(10)
- >>> x[2:7] = 1
-
-or an array of the right size: ::
-
- >>> x[2:7] = np.arange(5)
-
-Note that assignments may result in changes if assigning
-higher types to lower types (like floats to ints) or even
-exceptions (assigning complex to floats or ints): ::
-
- >>> x[1] = 1.2
- >>> x[1]
- 1
- >>> x[1] = 1.2j
- <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: can't convert complex to long; use
- long(abs(z))
-
-
-Unlike some of the references (such as array and mask indices)
-assignments are always made to the original data in the array
-(indeed, nothing else would make sense!). Note though, that some
-actions may not work as one may naively expect. This particular
-example is often surprising to people: ::
-
- >>> x = np.arange(0, 50, 10)
- >>> x
- array([ 0, 10, 20, 30, 40])
- >>> x[np.array([1, 1, 3, 1])] += 1
- >>> x
- array([ 0, 11, 20, 31, 40])
-
-Where people expect that the 1st location will be incremented by 3.
-In fact, it will only be incremented by 1. The reason is because
-a new array is extracted from the original (as a temporary) containing
-the values at 1, 1, 3, 1, then the value 1 is added to the temporary,
-and then the temporary is assigned back to the original array. Thus
-the value of the array at x[1]+1 is assigned to x[1] three times,
-rather than being incremented 3 times.
-
-Dealing with variable numbers of indices within programs
-========================================================
-
-The index syntax is very powerful but limiting when dealing with
-a variable number of indices. For example, if you want to write
-a function that can handle arguments with various numbers of
-dimensions without having to write special case code for each
-number of possible dimensions, how can that be done? If one
-supplies to the index a tuple, the tuple will be interpreted
-as a list of indices. For example (using the previous definition
-for the array z): ::
-
- >>> indices = (1,1,1,1)
- >>> z[indices]
- 40
-
-So one can use code to construct tuples of any number of indices
-and then use these within an index.
-
-Slices can be specified within programs by using the slice() function
-in Python. For example: ::
-
- >>> indices = (1,1,1,slice(0,2)) # same as [1,1,1,0:2]
- >>> z[indices]
- array([39, 40])
-
-Likewise, ellipsis can be specified by code by using the Ellipsis
-object: ::
-
- >>> indices = (1, Ellipsis, 1) # same as [1,...,1]
- >>> z[indices]
- array([[28, 31, 34],
-        [37, 40, 43],
-        [46, 49, 52]])
-
-For this reason it is possible to use the output from the np.where()
-function directly as an index since it always returns a tuple of index
-arrays.
-
-Because the special treatment of tuples, they are not automatically
-converted to an array as a list would be. As an example: ::
-
- >>> z[[1,1,1,1]] # produces a large array
- array([[[[27, 28, 29],
-          [30, 31, 32], ...
- >>> z[(1,1,1,1)] # returns a single value
- 40

-Structured Arrays (and Record Arrays)
-=====================================
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-Numpy provides powerful capabilities to create arrays of structs or records.
-These arrays permit one to manipulate the data by the structs or by fields of
-the struct. A simple example will show what is meant.: ::
-
- >>> x = np.zeros((2,),dtype=('i4,f4,a10'))
- >>> x[:] = [(1,2.,'Hello'),(2,3.,"World")]
- >>> x
- array([(1, 2.0, 'Hello'), (2, 3.0, 'World')],
-      dtype=[('f0', '>i4'), ('f1', '>f4'), ('f2', '|S10')])
-
-Here we have created a one-dimensional array of length 2. Each element of
-this array is a record that contains three items, a 32-bit integer, a 32-bit
-float, and a string of length 10 or less. If we index this array at the second
-position we get the second record: ::
-
- >>> x[1]
- (2,3.,"World")
-
-Conveniently, one can access any field of the array by indexing using the
-string that names that field. In this case the fields have received the
-default names 'f0', 'f1' and 'f2'. ::
-
- >>> y = x['f1']
- >>> y
- array([ 2.,  3.], dtype=float32)
- >>> y[:] = 2*y
- >>> y
- array([ 4.,  6.], dtype=float32)
- >>> x
- array([(1, 4.0, 'Hello'), (2, 6.0, 'World')],
-       dtype=[('f0', '>i4'), ('f1', '>f4'), ('f2', '|S10')])
-
-In these examples, y is a simple float array consisting of the 2nd field
-in the record. But, rather than being a copy of the data in the structured
-array, it is a view, i.e., it shares exactly the same memory locations.
-Thus, when we updated this array by doubling its values, the structured
-array shows the corresponding values as doubled as well. Likewise, if one
-changes the record, the field view also changes: ::
-
- >>> x[1] = (-1,-1.,"Master")
- >>> x
- array([(1, 4.0, 'Hello'), (-1, -1.0, 'Master')],
-       dtype=[('f0', '>i4'), ('f1', '>f4'), ('f2', '|S10')])
- >>> y
- array([ 4., -1.], dtype=float32)
-
-Defining Structured Arrays
-==========================
-
-One defines a structured array through the dtype object.  There are
-**several** alternative ways to define the fields of a record.  Some of
-these variants provide backward compatibility with Numeric, numarray, or
-another module, and should not be used except for such purposes. These
-will be so noted. One specifies record structure in
-one of four alternative ways, using an argument (as supplied to a dtype
-function keyword or a dtype object constructor itself).  This
-argument must be one of the following: 1) string, 2) tuple, 3) list, or
-4) dictionary.  Each of these is briefly described below.
-
-1) String argument (as used in the above examples).
-In this case, the constructor expects a comma-separated list of type
-specifiers, optionally with extra shape information.
-The type specifiers can take 4 different forms: ::
-
-  a) b1, i1, i2, i4, i8, u1, u2, u4, u8, f2, f4, f8, c8, c16, a<n>
-     (representing bytes, ints, unsigned ints, floats, complex and
-      fixed length strings of specified byte lengths)
-  b) int8,...,uint8,...,float16, float32, float64, complex64, complex128
-     (this time with bit sizes)
-  c) older Numeric/numarray type specifications (e.g. Float32).
-     Don't use these in new code!
-  d) Single character type specifiers (e.g H for unsigned short ints).
-     Avoid using these unless you must. Details can be found in the
-     Numpy book
-
-These different styles can be mixed within the same string (but why would you
-want to do that?). Furthermore, each type specifier can be prefixed
-with a repetition number, or a shape. In these cases an array
-element is created, i.e., an array within a record. That array
-is still referred to as a single field. An example: ::
-
- >>> x = np.zeros(3, dtype='3int8, float32, (2,3)float64')
- >>> x
- array([([0, 0, 0], 0.0, [[0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]]),
-        ([0, 0, 0], 0.0, [[0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]]),
-        ([0, 0, 0], 0.0, [[0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]])],
-       dtype=[('f0', '|i1', 3), ('f1', '>f4'), ('f2', '>f8', (2, 3))])
-
-By using strings to define the record structure, it precludes being
-able to name the fields in the original definition. The names can
-be changed as shown later, however.
-
-2) Tuple argument: The only relevant tuple case that applies to record
-structures is when a structure is mapped to an existing data type. This
-is done by pairing in a tuple, the existing data type with a matching
-dtype definition (using any of the variants being described here). As
-an example (using a definition using a list, so see 3) for further
-details): ::
-
- >>> x = np.zeros(3, dtype=('i4',[('r','u1'), ('g','u1'), ('b','u1'), ('a','u1')]))
- >>> x
- array([0, 0, 0])
- >>> x['r']
- array([0, 0, 0], dtype=uint8)
-
-In this case, an array is produced that looks and acts like a simple int32 array,
-but also has definitions for fields that use only one byte of the int32 (a bit
-like Fortran equivalencing).
-
-3) List argument: In this case the record structure is defined with a list of
-tuples. Each tuple has 2 or 3 elements specifying: 1) The name of the field
-('' is permitted), 2) the type of the field, and 3) the shape (optional).
-For example::
-
- >>> x = np.zeros(3, dtype=[('x','f4'),('y',np.float32),('value','f4',(2,2))])
- >>> x
- array([(0.0, 0.0, [[0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0]]),
-        (0.0, 0.0, [[0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0]]),
-        (0.0, 0.0, [[0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0]])],
-       dtype=[('x', '>f4'), ('y', '>f4'), ('value', '>f4', (2, 2))])
-
-4) Dictionary argument: two different forms are permitted. The first consists
-of a dictionary with two required keys ('names' and 'formats'), each having an
-equal sized list of values. The format list contains any type/shape specifier
-allowed in other contexts. The names must be strings. There are two optional
-keys: 'offsets' and 'titles'. Each must be a correspondingly matching list to
-the required two where offsets contain integer offsets for each field, and
-titles are objects containing metadata for each field (these do not have
-to be strings), where the value of None is permitted. As an example: ::
-
- >>> x = np.zeros(3, dtype={'names':['col1', 'col2'], 'formats':['i4','f4']})
- >>> x
- array([(0, 0.0), (0, 0.0), (0, 0.0)],
-       dtype=[('col1', '>i4'), ('col2', '>f4')])
-
-The other dictionary form permitted is a dictionary of name keys with tuple
-values specifying type, offset, and an optional title. ::
-
- >>> x = np.zeros(3, dtype={'col1':('i1',0,'title 1'), 'col2':('f4',1,'title 2')})
- >>> x
- array([(0, 0.0), (0, 0.0), (0, 0.0)],
-       dtype=[(('title 1', 'col1'), '|i1'), (('title 2', 'col2'), '>f4')])
-
-Accessing and modifying field names
-===================================
-
-The field names are an attribute of the dtype object defining the record structure.
-For the last example: ::
-
- >>> x.dtype.names
- ('col1', 'col2')
- >>> x.dtype.names = ('x', 'y')
- >>> x
- array([(0, 0.0), (0, 0.0), (0, 0.0)],
-      dtype=[(('title 1', 'x'), '|i1'), (('title 2', 'y'), '>f4')])
- >>> x.dtype.names = ('x', 'y', 'z') # wrong number of names
- <type 'exceptions.ValueError'>: must replace all names at once with a sequence of length 2
-
-Accessing field titles
-====================================
-
-The field titles provide a standard place to put associated info for fields.
-They do not have to be strings. ::
-
- >>> x.dtype.fields['x'][2]
- 'title 1'
-
-Accessing multiple fields at once
-====================================
-
-You can access multiple fields at once using a list of field names: ::
-
- >>> x = np.array([(1.5,2.5,(1.0,2.0)),(3.,4.,(4.,5.)),(1.,3.,(2.,6.))],
-         dtype=[('x','f4'),('y',np.float32),('value','f4',(2,2))])
-
-Notice that `x` is created with a list of tuples. ::
-
- >>> x[['x','y']]
- array([(1.5, 2.5), (3.0, 4.0), (1.0, 3.0)],
-      dtype=[('x', '<f4'), ('y', '<f4')])
- >>> x[['x','value']]
- array([(1.5, [[1.0, 2.0], [1.0, 2.0]]), (3.0, [[4.0, 5.0], [4.0, 5.0]]),
-       (1.0, [[2.0, 6.0], [2.0, 6.0]])],
-      dtype=[('x', '<f4'), ('value', '<f4', (2, 2))])
-
-The fields are returned in the order they are asked for.::
-
- >>> x[['y','x']]
- array([(2.5, 1.5), (4.0, 3.0), (3.0, 1.0)],
-      dtype=[('y', '<f4'), ('x', '<f4')])
-
-Filling structured arrays
-=========================
-
-Structured arrays can be filled by field or row by row. ::
-
- >>> arr = np.zeros((5,), dtype=[('var1','f8'),('var2','f8')])
- >>> arr['var1'] = np.arange(5)
-
-If you fill it in row by row, it takes a take a tuple
-(but not a list or array!)::
-
- >>> arr[0] = (10,20)
- >>> arr
- array([(10.0, 20.0), (1.0, 0.0), (2.0, 0.0), (3.0, 0.0), (4.0, 0.0)],
-      dtype=[('var1', '<f8'), ('var2', '<f8')])
-
-More information
-====================================
-You can find some more information on recarrays and structured  arrays
-(including the difference between the two) `here
