numpy.delete — NumPy v1.15 Manual (original) (raw)
numpy. delete(arr, obj, axis=None)[source]¶
Return a new array with sub-arrays along an axis deleted. For a one dimensional array, this returns those entries not returned by_arr[obj]_.
| Parameters: | arr : array_like Input array. obj : slice, int or array of ints Indicate which sub-arrays to remove. axis : int, optional The axis along which to delete the subarray defined by obj. If axis is None, obj is applied to the flattened array. |
|---|---|
| Returns: | out : ndarray A copy of arr with the elements specified by obj removed. Note that delete does not occur in-place. If axis is None, out is a flattened array. |

Insert elements into an array.
Append elements at the end of an array.
Notes
Often it is preferable to use a boolean mask. For example:
mask = np.ones(len(arr), dtype=bool) mask[[0,2,4]] = False result = arr[mask,...]
Is equivalent to np.delete(arr, [0,2,4], axis=0), but allows further use of mask.
Examples
arr = np.array([[1,2,3,4], [5,6,7,8], [9,10,11,12]]) arr array([[ 1, 2, 3, 4], [ 5, 6, 7, 8], [ 9, 10, 11, 12]]) np.delete(arr, 1, 0) array([[ 1, 2, 3, 4], [ 9, 10, 11, 12]])
np.delete(arr, np.s_[::2], 1) array([[ 2, 4], [ 6, 8], [10, 12]]) np.delete(arr, [1,3,5], None) array([ 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12])
