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

numpy. roll(a, shift, axis=None)[source]

Roll array elements along a given axis.

Elements that roll beyond the last position are re-introduced at the first.

Parameters: a : array_like Input array. shift : int or tuple of ints The number of places by which elements are shifted. If a tuple, then axis must be a tuple of the same size, and each of the given axes is shifted by the corresponding number. If an int while axis is a tuple of ints, then the same value is used for all given axes. axis : int or tuple of ints, optional Axis or axes along which elements are shifted. By default, the array is flattened before shifting, after which the original shape is restored.
Returns: res : ndarray Output array, with the same shape as a.

Roll the specified axis backwards, until it lies in a given position.

Notes

New in version 1.12.0.

Supports rolling over multiple dimensions simultaneously.

Examples

x = np.arange(10) np.roll(x, 2) array([8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])

x2 = np.reshape(x, (2,5)) x2 array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]]) np.roll(x2, 1) array([[9, 0, 1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]]) np.roll(x2, 1, axis=0) array([[5, 6, 7, 8, 9], [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]]) np.roll(x2, 1, axis=1) array([[4, 0, 1, 2, 3], [9, 5, 6, 7, 8]])
