Thanks, (I forgot to reply), it works and feels less low level than strides.

Josef

>>> tmps2[0].itemsize * np.size(tmps2[0])
16
>>> tmp[0].itemsize * np.size(tmp[0])
24
>>> tmps2.strides[0]
16
>>> tmp.strides[0]
24
>>> tmp
array([[-1.414, -1.019, -1.171],
       [-1.273,  1.639, -0.854],
       [-1.795, -0.699,  0.595],
       [-0.865, -1.439, -0.275]])
>>> tmps2
array([(4.0, 0, 1), (1.0, 1, 3), (2.0, 2, 4), (4.0, 0, 1)],
      dtype=[('f0', '<f8'), ('f1', '<i4'), ('f2', '<i4')])
