I am attempting to create 2D arrays which are offset copies of a given starting array. For example if I have a 2D array like this:
array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
I would like to offset it by some amount in either or both the x and y dimension. Lets say that both the x and y offset would be 1. Then I would like to have an array like this:
array([[5, 6, 0], [8, 9, 0], [0, 0, 0]])
Here I don't really care about the values which are now zero. The main point is that now I can compare the data values at any given (x,y) point with the values at the adjacent point (over one on each axis). This would be useful for the kinds of calculations we need to do. I just can't come up with a numeric way to do this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks alot,

Mike,
As was pointed out to me when I had a similar query, one way to do this is to define a class which inherits UserArray and refine indexing and slicing. I actually shifted by an offset of one in the opposite direction to what you seem to require. I had intended to generalize to arbitrary offsets, but haven't had the time yet. Anyway, you're welcome to grab my code at http://www.physics.ubc.ca/~mbelab/python/arrayone as a starting point for your class. There are still some issues and quirkiness with the code, but they're documented along with work-arounds, and suggestions for fixes have been made on this mailing list. Again, it's a matter of time...
regards, Eric

This is not quite as clean as i would like, but this will work:
a = array([[1, 2, 3],
... [4, 5, 6], ... [7, 8, 9]])
m,n = a.shape b[:m-1,:n-1] = a[1:,1:] b
array([[5, 6, 0], [8, 9, 0], [0, 0, 0]])
if b does not have to be the same shape as a, then it is really easy:
b = a[1:,1:]
-Chris
This will work: b=zeros ((3,3)) b[:2,:2] = b[:2,:2] + a[1:,1:]
You need to know the size of a to use this scheme.

How about this:
b = 0*a b[:-1, :-1] = a[1:, 1:]
Works for any shape and type of a.

Konrad's solution is MUCH more elegant.

I think it looks cleaner as well. I've managed to create a function (with the help of the tips on this list) which can offset a 2d array in either or both the x and y dimensions. I strongly suspect that someone who *gets* python and numeric slicing better than I, can come up with a cleaner approach.
def getindicies(o, l): if o > 0: s1 = o; e1 = l; s2 = 0; e2 = l - o elif o < 0: s1 = 0; e1 = l + o; s2 = -o; e2 = l else: s1 = 0; e1 = l; s2 = 0; e2 = l return s1, e1, s2, e2
# return a 2d array whose dimensions match a with the data offset # controlled by x and y. def offset(a, x, y): sy1, ey1, sy2, ey2 = getindicies(y, a.shape[0]) sx1, ex1, sx2, ex2 = getindicies(x, a.shape[1]) b = zeros(a.shape) b[sy1:ey1,sx1:ex1] = a[sy2:ey2,sx2:ex2] return b
a = array(((1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), (7, 8, 9)))
# no offset print offset(a, 0, 0) # offset by 1 column in x print offset(a, 1, 0) # offset by 1 column (opposite dir) in x print offset(a, -1, 0) # offset by 2 columns in x print offset(a, 2, 0) # offset by 2 columns in y print offset(a, 0, 2)
