<h2><a name="introduction" id="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>Exposes a <a href=
"ObjectWrapper.html#TypeWrapper-concept">TypeWrapper</a> for the Python
<a href=
"http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/lib/typesmapping.html">array</a>
type.</p>
<h2><a name="classes" id="classes"></a>Classes</h2>
<h3><a name="array-spec" id="array-spec"></a>Class <code>array</code></h3>
<p>Provides access to the array types of <a href=
"http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy/">Numerical Python</a>'s <a href=
"http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy/#Numeric">Numeric</a> and <a href=
"http://stsdas.stsci.edu/numarray/index.html">NumArray</a> modules. With
the exception of the functions documented <a href=
"#array-spec-observers">below</a>, the semantics of the constructors and
member functions defined below can be fully understood by reading the
<a href="ObjectWrapper.html#TypeWrapper-concept">TypeWrapper</a> concept
definition. Since <code>array</code> is publicly derived from
<code><a href="object.html#object-spec">object</a></code>, the public
object interface applies to <code>array</code> instances as well.</p>
<p><a name="default_search" id="default_search"></a>The default behavior is
to use <code>numarray.NDArray</code> as the associated Python type if the
<code>numarray</code> module is installed in the default location.
Otherwise it falls back to use <code>Numeric.ArrayType</code>. If neither
extension module is installed, overloads of wrapped C++ functions with
<code>numeric::array</code> parameters will never be matched, and other
attempted uses of <code>numeric::array</code> will <a href=
"definitions.html#raise">raise</a> an appropriate Python exception. The
associated Python type can be set manually using the <code><a href=
"#array-spec-statics">set_module_and_type</a>(...)</code> static
function.</p>
