numpy.hstack — NumPy v1.15 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy. hstack(tup)[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: tup : sequence of ndarrays The arrays must have the same shape along all but the second axis, except 1-D arrays which can be any length.
Returns: stacked : ndarray The array formed by stacking the given arrays.
