[3dem] Python function equivalent to MRC image2010 Irdpas

[john.rubinstein at utoronto.ca]

Dear Colleagues,

In order to save some coding, I am hoping that someone can point me to  
a Python function that is equivalent the MRC Image2010 subroutine  
Irdpas, which reads part of a section from an MRC format image stack.  
That is, I would like to specify a z-slice, a start point in x, an end  
point in x, a start point in y, and an end point in y, and have the  
function return a 2D array that contains the relevant portion of the  
specified slice. Any python code that extracts particles from movies  
should have this function. A more general function that extracts a  
volume from the stack/volume would also be great.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Best regards,
John
