taking a 2D uneven surface slice
I'm trying to do something that at first glance I think should be simple but I can't quite figure out how to do it. The problem is as follows:
I have a 3D grid Values[Nx, Ny, Nz]
I want to slice Values at a 2D surface in the Z dimension specified by Z_index[Nx, Ny] and return a 2D slice[Nx, Ny].
It is not as simple as Values[:,:,Z_index].
I tried this:
values.shape
(4, 5, 6)
coords.shape
(4, 5)
slice = values[:,:,coords] slice.shape
(4, 5, 4, 5)
slice = np.take(values, coords, axis=2) slice.shape
(4, 5, 4, 5)
Obviously I could create an empty 2D slice and then fill it by using np.ndenumerate to fill it point by point by selecting values[i, j, Z_index[i, j]]. This just seems too inefficient and not very pythonic.

The following should work:
values.shape
(4,5,6)
coords.shape
(4,5)
values[np.arange(values.shape[0])[:,None],
... np.arange(values.shape[1])[None,:], ... coords].shape (4, 5)
Essentially we extract the values we want by values[I,J,K] where the indices I, J and K are each of shape (4,5) [or broadcast-able to that shape].
A slightly different way to look at it (I don't think it is exactly the same problem, but the description reminded me of it):

(and I think there are some things that can be done to make that faster, but I don't recall it right now)

I am sorry, I meant to post this in a different thread...
