Hi,
Suppose an array of shape (N,2,2), that is N arrays of shape (2,2). I want to select an element (x,y) from each one of the subarrays, so I get a 1-dimensional array of length N. For instance:
In [228]: t=np.arange(8).reshape(2,2,2)
In [229]: t Out[229]: array([[[0, 1], [2, 3]],
[[4, 5], [6, 7]]])
In [230]: x=[0,1]
In [231]: y=[1,1]
In [232]: t[[0,1],x,y] Out[232]: array([1, 7])
This way, I get the elements (0,1) and (1,1) which is what I wanted. The question is: is it possible to omit the [0,1] in the index?
Thanks in advance.
yes use the symbol ':'
so you want
t[:,x,y]

I tried that, but it's not the same:
In [307]: t[[0,1],x,y] Out[307]: array([1, 7])
In [308]: t[:,x,y] Out[308]: array([[1, 3], [5, 7]])
what is your t? Here's my example, which I think matches what you asked for:
In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: a = np.arange(12)
In [3]: a.shape = (3,2,2)
In [4]: a Out[4]: array([[[ 0, 1], [ 2, 3]],
[[ 4, 5], [ 6, 7]],
[[ 8, 9], [10, 11]]])
In [5]: a[:,1,0] Out[5]: array([ 2, 6, 10])
I didn't realize the x's and y's were varying the first time around. There's probably a way to omit it, but I think the conceptually simplest way is probably what you had to begin with. Build an index by saying i = numpy.arange(0, t.shape[0])
then you can do t[i, x,y]

Exactly. I was just wondering if I can speed this up by omitting building the "arange array". This is inside a function that gets called a lot, so I suppose it would make a difference if I can get rid of it.

This works with scalar indices, but not with arrays. The problem is that I don't want always the same element from each subarray, but an arbitrary element, say the (1,0) from the first, the (0,0) from the second, and so on, so I have to use arrays.

No, but you can write generic code for it:
t[np.arange(t.shape[0]), x, y]

Thank you. This is what I wanted to know.
I think that the only speedup you will get is defining an index only once and reusing it.
