index of outer loop when nesting ng:repeat

[Shishir Ramam]

I am trying to render a small grid with two nested loops. 

Each element of the grid can be rendered in one of many styles (5 in my case). 

The intent is to use ng:switch to discriminate. I need the row and col index to be able to do this. 

Can't seem to figure how to get the row index in the segment below. (test file attached). 

            <div ng:repeat='row in elems' class='row_{{$index}}'>

                <div ng:repeat='col in row' class='panel col_{{$index}}'>

                    <ng:switch on='orient(elems.$indexOf(row), $index)'>

                        <div ng:switch-when='0'>0</div>

                        <div ng:switch-when='1'>1</div> 

                        <div ng:switch-when='2'>2</div> 

                        <div ng:switch-when='3'>3</div> 

                        <div ng:switch-default>default</div> 

                    </ng:switch>

                </div>

            </div>

thanks for all help,

ng:repeat creates a new child scope and I think you can access the
parent via $parent

<ng:switch on='orient($parent.$index, $index)'>

Thanks Mårten!

Didn't see it till I fixed this - but the orient function seems to be called three times.  Any clues as to why? 

For the moment, the computation within orient is rather simple and I don't expect a performance hit. 

But this smells like a bug.
