Let say, I have a 3d array called f
mat = f(x,y,z)
I want to look up from a list of points (x0,y0,z0).....(xn,yn,zn);
by spliting it up into
arr_x = x0, x1, ....xn;
arr_y = y0, y1,....yn;
arr_z = z0, z1.... zn;

I want to get the output like
output = f(arr_x, arr_y, arr_z)

Since arr_x, arr_y, arr_z are random points, I have difficult to use "lookup", "locate", "view!", "index_gen", "assign_seq" to generate the "output" without converting the array "f" to a 1d array.

The following code will not work as of my expectation because view! will do a permutation mapping of xs and ys. It will expand the dimension of output instead of doing point to point lookup.

Thank in advance for your help.
