One of the things I like about numpy is that element-by-element multiplication is default. Really, most of what I do is element by element, punctuated by a few matrix multiplications (or whatever other matrix operations) at the end. If I had a penny for every '.' I put in front of an operator in MATLAB, I would buy us all new computers -- expensive ones even. I hope that, if there is another multiplication operator like .*, that this will be shorthand for dot(A, B), and not for elem-by-elem multiplication. -Rob ---- Rob Hetland, Associate Professor Dept. of Oceanography, Texas A&M University http://pong.tamu.edu/~rob phone: 979-458-0096, fax: 979-845-6331 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
