Arrays with complex index ? [message #18128]

Hello all,

Annyone know if there's a way to reference a floating point array using a
complex number?

what I would like to do is something like:

cnum=complex(5,5) & cnum2=complex(2,3) & fnum=10.7
arr=fltarr(cnum)
arr[cnum2]=fnum

and not:

arr=fltarr(5,5)
arr[float(cnum),imaginary(cnum)]=fnum

I suspect that this is not possible. Does anyone know how time
consumining the 'float' and 'imaginary' commands are? (I'm using these
statments at the core of a loop structure, and so any savings in time are
important)

Thanks.
- Henrik
