hi, I work in astrophysics where the most common programming language is currently IDL. A common request of people switching from IDL to python is the implementation of the REBIN function, which either downsizes a 2d array by averaging or increases its dimension by repeating its elements. In both cases the new shape must be an integer factor of the old shape.
I believe it is a very handy function for quick smoothing of 2 dimensional data. I found a discussion about this topic in the archives: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/885/focus=894 Do you think it would be useful to add such function to numpy? I created a simple implementation to help in the discussion: https://gist.github.com/1348792 thanks, Andrea Zonca _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
