Sample text

The shape of the array (note it comes as a Python tuple) is 512 x 512, and the number of elements 262144. The grayscale value of the image in the 33rd column and 68th row is 87 (note that in NumPy, as in Python or C, all indices are zero-based). We will now introduce the basic property and methods of NumPy/SciPy objects—datatype and indexing. [ 25 ] Working with the NumPy Array As a First Step to SciPy Using datatypes There are several approaches to impose the datatype. ], dtype=float32) The choice of datatypes for NumPy arrays is very flexible; we may choose the basic Python types (including bool, dict, list, set, tuple, str, and unicode), although for numerical computations we focus on int, float, long, and complex.

Compute the maximum and minimum values of Lena (img), and contrast them with the point spread (it should be equal to the difference between those two values). Now, create a new array A by clipping Lena so that the minimum is maintained, but the point spread is reduced to only 100 values. ptp() The output is shown as follows: (25, 125, 100) Array routines In this section, we will deal with most operations on arrays. We will classify them into four main categories: • Routines to create new arrays • Routines to manipulate a single array • Routines to combine two or more arrays • Routines to extract information from arrays The reader will surely realize that some operations of this kind can be carried out by methods, which once again shows the flexibility of Python and NumPy.

There is a good online documentation in the official web page, and we encourage the reader to dig deeper than the few commands that we will use in this book. For instance, the excellent monograph Matplotlib for Python Developers, Sandro Tosi, Packt Publishing, provides all that we would need and more. Other plotting libraries are available (commercial or otherwise that aim to very different and specific applications. The degree of sophistication and ease of use of matplotlib makes it one of the best options to generate graphics in scientific computing.
