You get an array view if the elements can be addressed with offsets,
strides, and counts. Think nested for loops.

In [1]: a = zeros((4,4))

In [2]: a[::2,::2] = 1

In [3]: a
Out[3]:
array([[ 1.,  0.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 1.,  0.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])
