Suppose I define a trivial class composed of x and y coordinates and
create a Numeric array of instances of that class.
class xy:
def __init__(self,x =0.0,y=0.0):
self.x = x
self.y = y
def __repr__(self):
return ("%6.2f" % self.x) + (",%6.2f" % self.y)
from xy import xy
from Numeric import zeros,array,PyO bject
n = 3
aa = array([xy() for i in xrange(n)], PyObject)
aa[1] = xy(5.0,25.0)
print aa
# not legal -- print aa.x
The output of this program is
[ 0.00, 0.00 5.00, 25.00 0.00, 0.00 ] .
I would like to be able to get an array [0.00 5.00 0.00] corresponding
to the x component of array aa using the syntax aa.x, but this is not
correct Python. Array slices of components would also be nice. I
could write a function to return such an array, but I doubt that this
would be efficient in CPU time or memory. I wonder if this capability
could be added to Numarray, the successor of Numeric. Otherwise, it
may be better to write numerical codes using parallel arrays (one for
x, one for y) instead of classes, and the benefits of classes are
lost.
Below is a program showing how this is done in Fortran 95.
module xy_mod
implicit none
type, public :: xy
real :: x = 0.0, y = 0.0
end type xy
end module xy_mod
program xxy
use xy_mod, only: xy
implicit none
integer, parameter :: n = 3
type(xy) :: aa(n)
character (len=*), parameter :: fmt_r="(100(2f6 .2,4x))"
aa(2) = xy(5.0,25.0)
print fmt_r,aa
print fmt_r,aa%x
print fmt_r,aa(1:2)%x
end program xxy
The output is
0.00 0.00 5.00 25.00 0.00 0.00
0.00 5.00 0.00
0.00 5.00 1 1877 be*******@aol.c om wrote in message news:<30******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>... Suppose I define a trivial class composed of x and y coordinates and create a Numeric array of instances of that class.

Here's a way to kinda get what you want:
from numarray import zeros, Float
class space(object):
def __init__(self, n=3):
self.points = zeros((n,2), Float)
def __getitem__(sel f, i):
return xy(self.points[i])
def __setitem__(sel f, i, (x,y)):
self.points[i,0] = x
self.points[i,1] = y
def __repr__(self):
return repr(self.point s)
# or, '\n'.join([repr(p) for p in self.points])
x = property(lambda self: self.points[:,0])
y = property(lambda self: self.points[:,1])
class xy(object):
def __init__(self, loc):
self.loc = loc
def __repr__(self):
return '%2.6f, %2.6f' % (self.x, self.y)
def _get_x(self): return self.loc[0]
def _set_x(self, value): self.loc[0] = value
x = property(_get_x , _set_x)
def _get_y(self): return self.loc[1]
def _set_y(self): self.loc[1] = value
y = property(_get_y , _set_y)
n = 3
aa = space(n)
aa[1] = (5.0, 25.0)
print aa
print aa.x
---
Using the array slicing, "array[:,i]" seems to be pretty efficient to
me. You can also use that syntax for setting values. The xy class
now is just a convenience wrapper/pointer to its position in space...
One improvement on this might be to allow slicing of space so you can
do something like: a,b,c = aa[100:103] # to get 3 discreet points aa[50:55] = [(1.,2.), (2.,3.), (3.,4.), (4.,5.), (5.,6.)] # to
set multiple points

There is something with initializing mutable class attributes that I am
struggling with. I'll use an example to explain:
class Father:
attr1=None # this is OK
attr2= # this is wrong
def foo(self, data):
self.attr1=data
self.attr2.append(data)
The initialization of attr1 is obviously OK, all instances of Father
redefine it in the method foo. But the initialization of attr2 is wrong

Hi All,
I just tried to do something that I thought would be quite simple in C++ and
discovered (I think) that it's not possible. I did a bunch of reading and
everything that I've seen seems to indicate that it's not possible but I
thought I'd throw it out to all you c++ gurus to see what you say.
Is there any way to initialize a character array in the initialization list
for the constructor a class? If this is not possible, can anyone...

I have created an array of timers (1-n). At first I just created
windows form timers but I read that system timers are better for

directories and updating a database. No interaction with the GUI.
Problem is that the system timers do not have a tag property so I can
tie in an object.
