Hi Ben,
it helps a lot. I am nearly finishing a function in a way I think pythonic.
Just one more question, I have:
In [24]: b=np.arange(1,11)
In [25]: b
Out[25]: array([ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
In [26]: b[slice(1)]
Out[26]: array([1])
In [27]: b[slice(4)]
Out[27]: array([1, 2, 3, 4])
In [28]: b[slice(None,4)]
Out[28]: array([1, 2, 3, 4])
so slice(4) is actually slice(None,4), how can I exactly want retrieve a[4] using slice object?
thanks again!
Chao

I want to create a function and I would like one of the arguments of the function to determine what slicing of numpy array I want to use.
a simple example:
a=np.arange(100).reshape(10,10)
suppose I want to have a imaging function to show image of part of this data:
def show_part_of_data(m,n):
plt.imshow(a[m,n])
like I can give m=3:5, n=2:7, when I call function show_part_of_data(3:5,2:7), this means I try to do plt.imshow(a[3:5,2:7]).
the above example doesn't work in reality. but it illustrates something similar that I desire, that is, I can specify what slicing of
number array I want by giving values to function arguments.
thanks a lot,
Chao
What you want to do is create slice objects.
a[3:5]
is equivalent to
sl = slice(3, 5)
a[sl]
and
a[3:5, 5:14]
is equivalent to
sl = (slice(3, 5), slice(5, 14))
a[sl]
Furthermore, notation such as "::-1" is equivalent to slice(None, None, -1)
I hope this helps!
