How can I create a slice object for Numpy array?

Question

I\'ve tried to find a neat solution to this, but I\'m slicing several 2D arrays of the same shape in the same manner. I\'ve tidied it up as much as I can by defining a list

Answer 1

Yes you can use numpy.s_:

Example:

>>> a = np.arange(10).reshape(2, 5)
>>> 
>>> m = np.s_[0:2, 3:4]
>>> 
>>> a[m]
array([[3],
       [8]])

And in this case:

my_slice = np.s_[cpix[1]-50:cpix[1]+50, cpix[0]-50:cpix[0]+50]

a1 = array1[my_slice] 
a2 = array2[my_slice] 
a3 = array3[my_slice]

You can also use numpy.r_ in order to translates slice objects to concatenation along the first axis.
