Hi folks, There has been a lot of great discussion about this -- and I"m really glad to see it happening -- I've been putting off refactoring my own lame, limited, poorly designed, special purpose version of this for ages.
One question I have (that may have been answered) is about slicing: I think there has been mention of slicing dataarrays according to names (would that be tick names?), but I'm not sure how that would work. There are two orders: The order that the data is in the array. i.e. the regular index order The order you would get by sorting the ticks (assuming that the tick names are sortable -- datetimes, numbers, strings, etc) So what would you get if you wanted: MyDataArray['jones':'wilson'] or MyDataArray.names[slice('jones','wilson')] or whatever the syntax would be? If it was in alphabetical order, you'd be all set, but what it if wasn't? It would be pretty cool if you could get an alphabetical slice. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
