Dont worry! I solved this. I had a brain fade earlier today when I was working on the problem and it wasnt untill this evening when I got home and relaxed that what I was after came to mind.
The following code example does the basics of what I was trying to do. Its pretty damn simple. so i was deep in the forest and couldnt see the tree! x = {(1,2),(4,4),(4,6),(3,5)} for eachitem in x: print eachitem,eachitem[0], eachitem[1] Regards, On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 1:14 PM, David Crisp <david.cr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I have a large grid of numbers 100 * 100 > > I then randomly select an X and Y to act as a "centre" point. > > I have a list of numbers which are coordinate offsets which are then > applied to the centre point as per: > > X = (-2,2),(-4,2),(4,2),(2,2) (The list is about 200 coordinate pairs long) > > The idea is that I iterate through the list of coordinates in X and do > the following: > > if (Centrepoint plus x and y offset) = something then something else. > > So, what is the best way of storeing this within a script. > > What is the best way of accessing it then later so I can break out the > first and second number in the coordinate pair and actually use them > in a calculation. > > suggestions are welcome.
