- A simple tutorial on Arrays
- ===========================
- Let's start with a simple tutorial to create and modify arrays.
- Get the necessary headers for numpy components and set up necessary namespaces::
- #include <boost/python/numpy.hpp>
- #include <iostream>
- namespace p = boost::python;
- namespace np = boost::python::numpy;
- Initialise the Python runtime, and the numpy module. Failure to call these results in segmentation errors::
- int main(int argc, char **argv)
- {
- Py_Initialize();
- np::initialize();
- Zero filled n-dimensional arrays can be created using the shape and data-type of the array as a parameter. Here, the shape is 3x3 and the datatype is the built-in float type::
- p::tuple shape = p::make_tuple(3, 3);
- np::dtype dtype = np::dtype::get_builtin<float>();
- np::ndarray a = np::zeros(shape, dtype);
- You can also create an empty array like this ::
- np::ndarray b = np::empty(shape,dtype);
-
- Print the original and reshaped array. The array a which is a list is first converted to a string, and each value in the list is extracted using extract< >::
- std::cout << "Original array:\n" << p::extract<char const *>(p::str(a)) << std::endl;
- // Reshape the array into a 1D array
- a = a.reshape(p::make_tuple(9));
- // Print it again.
- std::cout << "Reshaped array:\n" << p::extract<char const *>(p::str(a)) << std::endl;
- }
