I am using numpy to create an array then filling some of the values using a
for loop, I was wondering if there is way to easily fill the values without
iterating through sort of like "array.fill[start:stop,start:stop]"? The
reason for my question is, in some cases, I might have to fill hundreds
(within a 10,000x10,000 matrix) of values and I am not sure if iteration is
the right way to go.
Code:
from numpy import *
x, y = 5, 5
matrix = zeros((y,x), int)
print matrix
fillxstart, fillystart = 1,1
fillxstop,fillystop = 4, 4
for i in range(fillystart,fillystop,1):
for j in range(fillxstart,fillxstop,1):
matrix[i,j] = 1
print matrix
Output before filling:
[[0 0 0 0 0]
[0 0 0 0 0]
[0 0 0 0 0]
[0 0 0 0 0]
[0 0 0 0 0]]
Output after filling:
[[0 0 0 0 0]
[0 1 1 1 0]
[0 1 1 1 0]
[0 1 1 1 0]
[0 0 0 0 0]]
