how to replace subset of nd array with 1d array at i,j

[gats]

Hi,

I am trying to replace a range of values in a multidimensional array  starting at cell i,j with both greater than 0, ie a square inside the nD array. The new values that will be replacing the old ones come from a 1D array. However, when I provide both indexes to replace array subset block I am getting a bad wire... I assume that this is due to the fact that labview doesn't know which direction to replace the data?? Is there any solution to that? I am attaching an example vi of what I am trying to do.

Many thanks.

Hi gats,

trivial way:

index out the column or row where you want to replace values. In the resulting 1d array you can replace several values. Then you replace the whole row (or column) in the 2d array... Or replace just scalar values in the 2d array.

Edited:

Maybe you can use the "inplace" structure of newer LabView versions for this process, but I can't test this right now...

gats,

You also seem to have a major misconception about arrays. You say you want to replace a square but you are using a 1D array. A 'square' has two dimensions. If you really want to replace a square, you need to use a 2D array.

Hi guys thanks for the quick replies... Apologies for the square..., more accurate a rectacular of dimensions 1xn or a line area within the array. In any case I think I managed to resolve it by creating a dummy 2d array from the 1d array. The vi attached... If someone has a more elegant solution please input...

This should do the same thing without all of the extra steps.

Yup, this sounds good... You are "forcing" the array as a one column array resolving the problem of which way to replace at x,y...  Make sense. Thanks :).
