[Numpy-discussion] Negative indexing.

[Nathan Faggian]

Hi,

I am sorry for the late reply.

Benjamin has hit the nail on the head. I guess I am seeing numpy
"fancy indexing" as equivalent to integer based coordinate sampling
and trying to compare numpy's fancy indexing to something like
map_coordinates in scipy.

I have never used np.ravel_multi_index() and will have a look at this now.
