numpy.hstack — NumPy v2.2 Manual (original) (raw)
numpy.hstack(tup, *, dtype=None, casting='same_kind')[source]#
Stack arrays in sequence horizontally (column wise).
This is equivalent to concatenation along the second axis, except for 1-D arrays where it concatenates along the first axis. Rebuilds arrays divided by hsplit.
This function makes most sense for arrays with up to 3 dimensions. For instance, for pixel-data with a height (first axis), width (second axis), and r/g/b channels (third axis). The functions concatenate, stack andblock provide more general stacking and concatenation operations.
Parameters:
tupsequence of ndarrays
The arrays must have the same shape along all but the second axis, except 1-D arrays which can be any length. In the case of a single array_like input, it will be treated as a sequence of arrays; i.e., each element along the zeroth axis is treated as a separate array.
dtypestr or dtype
If provided, the destination array will have this dtype. Cannot be provided together with out.
New in version 1.24.
casting{‘no’, ‘equiv’, ‘safe’, ‘same_kind’, ‘unsafe’}, optional
Controls what kind of data casting may occur. Defaults to ‘same_kind’.
New in version 1.24.
Returns:
stackedndarray
The array formed by stacking the given arrays.
