numpy.ravel_multi_index

numpy.ravel_multi_index(multi_index, dims, mode='raise', order='C')

Converts a tuple of index arrays into an array of flat indices, applying boundary modes to the multi-index.

Parameters:

multi_indextuple of array_like

A tuple of integer arrays, one array for each dimension.

dimstuple of ints

The shape of array into which the indices from multi_index apply.

mode{‘raise’, ‘wrap’, ‘clip’}, optional

Specifies how out-of-bounds indices are handled. Can specify either one mode or a tuple of modes, one mode per index.

• ‘raise’ – raise an error (default)
• ‘wrap’ – wrap around
• ‘clip’ – clip to the range

In ‘clip’ mode, a negative index which would normally wrap will clip to 0 instead.

order{‘C’, ‘F’}, optional

Determines whether the multi-index should be viewed as indexing in row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style) order.

Returns:

raveled_indicesndarray

An array of indices into the flattened version of an array of dimensions dims.
