Function put_along_axis

numpy/lib/_shape_base_impl.py:187–269

Put values into the destination array by matching 1d index and data slices. This iterates over matching 1d slices oriented along the specified axis in the index and data arrays, and uses the former to place values into the latter. These slices can be different lengths. Functio

def put_along_axis(arr, indices, values, axis):
    """
    Put values into the destination array by matching 1d index and data slices.

    This iterates over matching 1d slices oriented along the specified axis in
    the index and data arrays, and uses the former to place values into the
    latter. These slices can be different lengths.

    Functions returning an index along an axis, like `argsort` and
    `argpartition`, produce suitable indices for this function.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arr : ndarray (Ni..., M, Nk...)
        Destination array.
    indices : ndarray (Ni..., J, Nk...)
        Indices to change along each 1d slice of `arr`. This must match the
        dimension of arr, but dimensions in Ni and Nj may be 1 to broadcast
        against `arr`.
    values : array_like (Ni..., J, Nk...)
        values to insert at those indices. Its shape and dimension are
        broadcast to match that of `indices`.
    axis : int
        The axis to take 1d slices along. If axis is None, the destination
        array is treated as if a flattened 1d view had been created of it.

    Notes
    -----
    This is equivalent to (but faster than) the following use of `ndindex` and
    `s_`, which sets each of ``ii`` and ``kk`` to a tuple of indices::

        Ni, M, Nk = a.shape[:axis], a.shape[axis], a.shape[axis+1:]
        J = indices.shape[axis]  # Need not equal M

        for ii in ndindex(Ni):
            for kk in ndindex(Nk):
                a_1d       = a      [ii + s_[:,] + kk]
                indices_1d = indices[ii + s_[:,] + kk]
                values_1d  = values [ii + s_[:,] + kk]
                for j in range(J):
                    a_1d[indices_1d[j]] = values_1d[j]

    Equivalently, eliminating the inner loop, the last two lines would be::

                a_1d[indices_1d] = values_1d
