For now, I solved it using a view with a different type: from numpy import * N = 5 a=zeros(N,'3f8') b=a.view() b.dtype='f8' b.shape = N,3 I'll try to put this mechanism in a subclass. Thanks for the answers, Edson On 10/4/07, Stefan van der Walt <stefan@sun.ac.za> wrote:

* Is there any field in the NumPy object where I can keep this information (the shape of the "element"), without creeping it with the dtype='(M,N)f8' representation I explained above?
There isn't. You could make a subclass that tracks this, but you would have to implement it carefully to maintain the information.
There is an example of how to do that here:
