Hi, thanks for working on this and driving going forward. I like the choice of a minimal API. I have pasted the doc-string (html, hope that works fine) below to allow a quicker idea of what is being proposed. To me it looks good! (I wonder if we need `subok`, but I guess we probably do.) Cheers, Sebastian numpy.sliding_window_viewnumpy.sliding_window_view(x, window_shape, axi s=None, *, subok=False, writeable=False)Create a sliding window view into the array with the given window shape. Creates a sliding window view of the N dimensional array with the given window shape. Window slides across each dimension of the array and extract a subsets of the array at any window position. Parametersx : array_likeArray to create the sliding window view from.window_shape : int or tuple of intSize of window over each axis that takes part in the sliding window. If axis is not present, must have same length as the number of input array dimensions. Single integers i are treated as if they were the tuple (i,).axis : int or tuple of int, optionalAxis or axes along which the sliding window is applied. By default, the sliding window is applied to all axes and window_shape[i] will refer to axis i of x. If axis is given as a tuple of int, window_shape[i] will refer to the axis axis[i] of x. Single integers i are treated as if they were the tuple (i,).subok : bool, optionalIf True, sub-classes will be passed- through, otherwise the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array (default).writeable : bool, optionalWhen true, allow writing to the returned view. The default is false, as this should be used with caution: the returned view contains the same memory location multiple times, so writing to one location will cause others to change.Returnsview : ndarraySliding window view of the array. The sliding window dimensions are inserted at the end, and the original dimensions are trimmed as required by the size of the sliding window. That is, view.shape = x_shape_trimmed + window_shape, where x_shape_trimmed is x.shape with every entry reduced by one less than the corresponding window size.See also lib.stride_tricks.as_stridedCreate a view into the array with the given shape and strides.broadcast_tobroadcast an array to a given shape. Notes For some cases there may be more efficient approaches to calculate transformations across multi-dimensional arrays, for instance scipy.signal.fftconvolve, where combining the iterating step with the calculation itself while storing partial results can result in significant speedups. Examples >>> x = np.arange(6) >>> x.shape (6,) >>> v = np.sliding_window_view(x, 3) >>> v.shape (4, 3) >>> v array([[0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5]]) This also works in more dimensions, e.g. >>> i, j = np.ogrid[:3, :4] >>> x = 10*i + j >>> x.shape (3, 4) >>> x array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [10, 11, 12, 13], [20, 21, 22, 23]]) >>> shape = (2,2) >>> v = np.sliding_window_view(x, shape) >>> v.shape (2, 3, 2, 2) >>> v array([[[[ 0, 1], [10, 11]], [[ 1, 2], [11, 12]], [[ 2, 3], [12, 13]]], [[[10, 11], [20, 21]], [[11, 12], [21, 22]], [[12, 13], [22, 23]]]]) The axis can be specified explicitly: >>> v = np.sliding_window_view(x, 3, 0) >>> v.shape (1, 4, 3) >>> v array([[[ 0, 10, 20], [ 1, 11, 21], [ 2, 12, 22], [ 3, 13, 23]]]) The same axis can be used several times. In that case, every use reduces the corresponding original dimension: >>> v = np.sliding_window_view(x, (2, 3), (1, 1)) >>> v.shape (3, 1, 2, 3) >>> v array([[[[ 0, 1, 2], [ 1, 2, 3]]], [[[10, 11, 12], [11, 12, 13]]], [[[20, 21, 22], [21, 22, 23]]]]) Combining with stepped slicing (::step), this can be used to take sliding views which skip elements: >>> x = np.arange(7) >>> np.sliding_window_view(x, 5)[:, ::2] array([[0, 2, 4], [1, 3, 5], [2, 4, 6]]) or views which move by multiple elements >>> x = np.arange(7) >>> np.sliding_window_view(x, 3)[::2, :] array([[0, 1, 2], [2, 3, 4], [4, 5, 6]]) > Having a sliding window view in numpy is a longstanding open issue > (cf > #7753 [2] from 2016).
