Okay, stupid question time.
(I think I just subscribed, assuming the mail address I used
made sense... actually I thought I'd subscribed before, but
there ya go...)
Been fiddling with numeric recently and I can't seem
to find or derive an "inverse" to take. Ie, I'd like a
builtin that will set a collection of values scattered about
inside an array.
Ie, I want to draw a circle on a large array of 0 bytes
(without making another large array). solution: compute
the array of indices for the circle and set all the indices
to one. Might look something like this:
set_by_indices (big_byte_array, indices, 1)
Does the equivalent of
for pair in indices:
big_byte_array(pair[0], pair[1]) = 1
but without the Python overhead.
or whatever. Sorry if this kinda thing
is already there. Please educate me. -- Aaron Watters
