I found it today based on a posting; the kind of array I was interested in is a "structured array" and using that term the docs are easy to find, e.g.: <http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/basics.rec.html> In particular: numpy.zeros(shape, dtype=[("pos", float, (2,)), ("rot", float)]) -- Russell _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
