It's hard to articulate the question I have exactly. I want to subscript all values in the array, but I want the order to be different. The code is below:
# import numpy
import numpy as np
# variables
y = np.zeros([30,120,1440])
composite_events = np.zeros([30,120,1440])
# longitude array
lon = np.linspace(-179.25,179.25,1440)
# index for the starting point
center_lon_index = np.int(500)
# index for shifting the longitude array
lonindex = (np.arange(start=0,stop=np.size(lon),step=1) + center_lon_index) % np.size(lon)
# set the composite events to be the same as the data, but centering a particular point
composite_events[0,:,:] = y[0,:,lonindex]
The code returns the following error.
ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (1440,120) into shape (120,1440)
I understand the error, but as far as I can tell, the shape of y should be the same as the shape of composite_events. This type of code works in other languages I've used. What is python doing here? Thanks!
