I'm using structured arrays to store atoms data produced by LAMMPS (I'm using a
structured array that follows its format). I need to rotate the positions:
```
import numpy as np
transform = np.array([[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]], dtype=np.float64)
dtype = np.dtype([("x", np.float64), ("y", np.float64), ("z", np.float64)]) #
real case with more fields, integers, bools, strings
atoms = np.array(
[
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0),
(0.0, 1.0, 0.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0),
],
dtype=dtype,
)
atoms[["x", "y", "z"]] = atoms[["x", "y", "z"]] @ transform.T
```
But this produces:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Users\acgc99\Desktop\rotation.py", line 16, in <module>
atoms[["x", "y", "z"]] = atoms[["x", "y", "z"]] @ transform.T
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~
numpy._core._exceptions._UFuncNoLoopError: ufunc 'matmul' did not contain a
loop with signature matching types (dtype([('x', '<f8'), ('y', '<f8'), ('z',
'<f8')]), dtype('float64')) -> None
```
I can convert to unstructured arrays, but I guess that doing that change
multiple times is not efficient when working with tens of millions of atoms.
