[Numpy-discussion] Re: where

[Ryan Krauss]

Sorry, I can't explain myself.

I read the docstring and it didn't make sense before.  Now it seems
clear enough.

Some how I got it in my head that I needed to be passing f and phase
so that condition could use them.

It turns out that this:
 myvect=where((f>19.5) & (f<38) &
(phase>0),ones(shape(phase)),zeros(shape(phase)))

does exactly what I want.
