    Create an object to more easily perform multi-index slicing

    ``.ix[]`` supports mixed integer and label based access. It is

    Access a group of rows and columns by label(s) or a boolean array.

    ``.loc[]`` is primarily label based, but may also be used with a
    boolean array.

    Allowed inputs are:

    - A single label, e.g. ``5`` or ``'a'``, (note that ``5`` is
      interpreted as a *label* of the index, and **never** as an
      integer position along the index).
    - A list or array of labels, e.g. ``['a', 'b', 'c']``.
    - A slice object with labels, e.g. ``'a':'f'``.

      .. warning:: Note that contrary to usual python slices, **both** the
          start and the stop are included

    - A boolean array of the same length as the axis being sliced,
      e.g. ``[True, False, True]``.
    - A ``callable`` function with one argument (the calling Series, DataFrame
      or Panel) and that returns valid output for indexing (one of the above)

    See more at :ref:`Selection by Label <indexing.label>`

    --------
    DataFrame.at : Access a single value for a row/column label pair
    DataFrame.iloc : Access group of rows and columns by integer position(s)
    DataFrame.xs : Returns a cross-section (row(s) or column(s)) from the
        Series/DataFrame.
    Series.loc : Access group of values using labels

    Examples
    --------
    **Getting values**

    >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [4, 5], [7, 8]],
    ...      index=['cobra', 'viper', 'sidewinder'],
    ...      columns=['max_speed', 'shield'])
    >>> df
                max_speed  shield
    cobra               1       2
    viper               4       5
    sidewinder          7       8

    Single label. Note this returns the row as a Series.

    >>> df.loc['viper']
    max_speed    4
    shield       5
    Name: viper, dtype: int64

    List of labels. Note using ``[[]]`` returns a DataFrame.

    >>> df.loc[['viper', 'sidewinder']]
                max_speed  shield
    viper               4       5
    sidewinder          7       8

    Single label for row and column

    >>> df.loc['cobra', 'shield']
    2

    Slice with labels for row and single label for column. As mentioned
    above, note that both the start and stop of the slice are included.

    >>> df.loc['cobra':'viper', 'max_speed']
    cobra    1
    viper    4
    Name: max_speed, dtype: int64

    Boolean list with the same length as the row axis

    >>> df.loc[[False, False, True]]
                max_speed  shield
    sidewinder          7       8

    Conditional that returns a boolean Series

    >>> df.loc[df['shield'] > 6]
                max_speed  shield
    sidewinder          7       8

    Conditional that returns a boolean Series with column labels specified

    >>> df.loc[df['shield'] > 6, ['max_speed']]
                max_speed
    sidewinder          7

    Callable that returns a boolean Series

    >>> df.loc[lambda df: df['shield'] == 8]
                max_speed  shield
    sidewinder          7       8

    **Setting values**

    Set value for all items matching the list of labels

    >>> df.loc[['viper', 'sidewinder'], ['shield']] = 50
    >>> df
                max_speed  shield
    cobra               1       2
    viper               4      50
    sidewinder          7      50

    Set value for an entire row

    >>> df.loc['cobra'] = 10
    >>> df
                max_speed  shield
    cobra              10      10
    viper               4      50
    sidewinder          7      50

    Set value for an entire column

    >>> df.loc[:, 'max_speed'] = 30
    >>> df
                max_speed  shield
    cobra              30      10
    viper              30      50
    sidewinder         30      50

    Set value for rows matching callable condition

    >>> df.loc[df['shield'] > 35] = 0
    >>> df
                max_speed  shield
    cobra              30      10
    viper               0       0
    sidewinder          0       0

    **Getting values on a DataFrame with an index that has integer labels**

    Another example using integers for the index

    >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [4, 5], [7, 8]],
    ...      index=[7, 8, 9], columns=['max_speed', 'shield'])
    >>> df
       max_speed  shield
    7          1       2
    8          4       5
    9          7       8

    Slice with integer labels for rows. As mentioned above, note that both
    the start and stop of the slice are included.

    >>> df.loc[7:9]
       max_speed  shield
    7          1       2
    8          4       5
    9          7       8

    **Getting values with a MultiIndex**

    A number of examples using a DataFrame with a MultiIndex

    >>> tuples = [
    ...    ('cobra', 'mark i'), ('cobra', 'mark ii'),
    ...    ('sidewinder', 'mark i'), ('sidewinder', 'mark ii'),
    ...    ('viper', 'mark ii'), ('viper', 'mark iii')
    ... ]
    >>> index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(tuples)
    >>> values = [[12, 2], [0, 4], [10, 20],
    ...         [1, 4], [7, 1], [16, 36]]
    >>> df = pd.DataFrame(values, columns=['max_speed', 'shield'], index=index)
    >>> df
                         max_speed  shield
    cobra      mark i           12       2
               mark ii           0       4
    sidewinder mark i           10      20
               mark ii           1       4
    viper      mark ii           7       1
               mark iii         16      36

    Single label. Note this returns a DataFrame with a single index.

    >>> df.loc['cobra']
             max_speed  shield
    mark i          12       2
    mark ii          0       4

    Single index tuple. Note this returns a Series.

    >>> df.loc[('cobra', 'mark ii')]
    max_speed    0
    shield       4
    Name: (cobra, mark ii), dtype: int64

    Single label for row and column. Similar to passing in a tuple, this
    returns a Series.

    >>> df.loc['cobra', 'mark i']
    max_speed    12
    shield        2
    Name: (cobra, mark i), dtype: int64

    Single tuple. Note using ``[[]]`` returns a DataFrame.

    >>> df.loc[[('cobra', 'mark ii')]]
                   max_speed  shield
    cobra mark ii          0       4

    Single tuple for the index with a single label for the column

    >>> df.loc[('cobra', 'mark i'), 'shield']
    2

    Slice from index tuple to single label

    >>> df.loc[('cobra', 'mark i'):'viper']
                         max_speed  shield
    cobra      mark i           12       2
               mark ii           0       4
    sidewinder mark i           10      20
               mark ii           1       4
    viper      mark ii           7       1
               mark iii         16      36

    Slice from index tuple to index tuple

    >>> df.loc[('cobra', 'mark i'):('viper', 'mark ii')]
                        max_speed  shield
    cobra      mark i          12       2
               mark ii          0       4

    Access a single value for a row/column pair by integer position.

    Similar to ``iloc``, in that both provide integer-based lookups. Use
    ``iat`` if you only need to get or set a single value in a DataFrame
    or Series.

    See Also
    --------
    DataFrame.at : Access a single value for a row/column label pair
    DataFrame.loc : Access a group of rows and columns by label(s)
    DataFrame.iloc : Access a group of rows and columns by integer position(s)

    Examples
    --------
    >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[0, 2, 3], [0, 4, 1], [10, 20, 30]],
    ...                   columns=['A', 'B', 'C'])
    >>> df
        A   B   C
    0   0   2   3
    1   0   4   1
    2  10  20  30

    Get value at specified row/column pair

    >>> df.iat[1, 2]
    1

    Set value at specified row/column pair

    >>> df.iat[1, 2] = 10
    >>> df.iat[1, 2]
    10

    Get value within a series

    >>> df.loc[0].iat[1]
