tf.Tensor.getitemInstead of calling this op directly most users will want to use the NumPy-style slicing syntax (e.g. tensor[..., 3:4:-1, tf.newaxis, 3]), which is supported via and tf.Variable.getitem. The interface of this op is a low-level encoding of the slicing syntax.

Roughly speaking, this op extracts a slice of size (-`begin`)/`stride` from the given `input_` tensor. Starting at the location specified by `begin` the slice continues by adding `stride` to the index until all dimensions are not less than. Note that a stride can be negative, which causes a reverse slice. Given a Python slice input[spec0, spec1, ..., specn], this function will be called as follows. begin, end, and strides will be vectors of length n. n in general is not equal to the rank of the input_ tensor. In each mask field (begin_mask, end_mask, ellipsis_mask, new_axis_mask, shrink_axis_mask) the ith bit will correspond to the ith spec. If the ith bit of begin_mask is set, begin[i] is ignored and the fullest possible range in that dimension is used instead. end_mask works analogously, except with the end range. foo[5:,:,:3] on a 7x8x9 tensor is equivalent to foo[5:7,0:8,0:3]. foo[::-1] reverses a tensor with shape 8. If the ith bit of ellipsis_mask is set, as many unspecified dimensions as needed will be inserted between other dimensions. Only one non-zero bit is allowed in ellipsis_mask. For example foo[3:5,...,4:5] on a shape 10x3x3x10 tensor is equivalent to foo[3:5,:,:,4:5] and foo[3:5,...] is equivalent to foo[3:5,:,:,:]. If the ith bit of new_axis_mask is set, then begin, end, and stride are ignored and a new length 1 dimension is added at this point in the output tensor. For example, foo[:4, tf.newaxis, :2] would produce a shape (4, 1, 2) tensor. If the ith bit of shrink_axis_mask is set, it implies that the ith specification shrinks the dimensionality by 1, taking on the value at index begin[i]. end[i] and strides[i] are ignored in this case. For example in Python one might do foo[:, 3, :] which would result in shrink_axis_mask equal to 2. NOTE: begin and end are zero-indexed. strides entries must be non-zero.
