Is there a way to extract the size of array that would be created by doing 1j*array?
The problem I'm having is in creating an empty array to fill with complex values without knowing a priori what the input data type is. For example, I have a real or int array `a`. I want to create an array `b` which can hold values from 1j*a in such a way that I don't need to compute those explicitly (because I only need parts of the array say), without upcasting (or indeed downcasting) the result. So if `a` was dtype 'float32`, `b` would be of dtype `complex64`. If `a` was `int64`, `b` would be of dtype `complex128` etc. Cheers, Henry _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
