NumPy is a famous Python library used for working with arrays. One of the important functions of this library is stack().
Important points:Parameters:Syntax: numpy.stack(arrays, axis=0, out=None)
import numpy as np
# input array
a = np.array([1, 2, 3])
b = np.array([4, 5, 6])
# Stacking 2 1-d arrays
c = np.stack((a, b),axis=0)
print(c)
output -
array([[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6]])
Notice, output is a 2-D array. They are stacked row-wise. Now, let's change the axis to 1.
Python
# stack 2 1-d arrays column-wise
np.stack((a,b),axis=1)
output -
array([[1, 4],
[2, 5],
[3, 6]])
Here, stack() takes 2 1-D arrays and stacks them one after another as if it fills elements in new array column-wise.
Python
#stacking 2 arrays along -1 axis
np.stack((a,b),axis=-1)
output -
array([[1, 4],
[2, 5],
[3, 6]])
-1 represents 'last dimension-wise'. Here 2 axis are possible. 0 and 1. So, -1 is same as 1.
Example #2 : stacking two 2d arrays Python3
# input arrays
x=np.array([[1,2,3],
[4,5,6]])
y=np.array([[7,8,9],
[10,11,12]])
1. stacking with axis=0
Python3
output -
array([[[ 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6]],[[ 7, 8, 9],
[10, 11, 12]]])
Imagine as if they are stacked one after another and made a 3-D array.
2. stacking with axis=1
Python3
Output - 3D array. 1st dimension has 1st rows. 2nd dimension has 2nd rows. [Row-wise stacking]
array([[[ 1, 2, 3],
[ 7, 8, 9]],[[ 4, 5, 6],
[10, 11, 12]]])
3. stacking with axis =2
Python3
Output - 3D array. 1st dimension has 1st rows. 2nd dimension has 2nd rows. [Column-wise stacking]
Example #2 : stacking more than two 2d arraysarray([[[ 1, 7],
[ 2, 8],
[ 3, 9]],[[ 4, 10],
[ 5, 11],
[ 6, 12]]])
1. with axis=0 : Just stacking.
Python3
x=np.array([[1,2,3],
[4,5,6]])
y=np.array([[7,8,9],
[10,11,12]])
z=np.array([[13,14,15],
[16,17,18]])
np.stack((x,y,z),axis=0)
output -
array([[[ 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6]],[[ 7, 8, 9],
[10, 11, 12]],[[13, 14, 15],
[16, 17, 18]]])
2. with axis =1 (row-wise stacking)
Python3
output -
array([[[ 1, 2, 3],
[ 7, 8, 9],
[13, 14, 15]],[[ 4, 5, 6],
[10, 11, 12],
[16, 17, 18]]])
3. with axis =2 (column-wise stacking)
Python
output-
Example #3 : stacking two 3d arraysarray([[[ 1, 7, 13],
[ 2, 8, 14],
[ 3, 9, 15]],[[ 4, 10, 16],
[ 5, 11, 17],
[ 6, 12, 18]]])
1. axis=0. Just stacking
Python3
#2 input 3d arrays
m=np.array([[[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9]],
[[10,11,12],
[13,14,15],
[16,17,18]]])
n=np.array([[[51,52,53],
[54,55,56],
[57,58,59]],
[[110,111,112],
[113,114,115],
[116,117,118]]])
# stacking
np.stack((m,n),axis=0)
output -
array([[[[ 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6],
[ 7, 8, 9]],[[ 10, 11, 12],
[ 13, 14, 15],
[ 16, 17, 18]]],
[[[ 51, 52, 53],
[ 54, 55, 56],
[ 57, 58, 59]],[[110, 111, 112],
[113, 114, 115],
[116, 117, 118]]]])
2. with axis=1
Python3
output - Imagine as if the resultant array takes 1st plane of each array for 1st dimension and so on.
array([[[[ 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6],
[ 7, 8, 9]],[[ 51, 52, 53],
[ 54, 55, 56],
[ 57, 58, 59]]],
[[[ 10, 11, 12],
[ 13, 14, 15],
[ 16, 17, 18]],[[110, 111, 112],
[113, 114, 115],
[116, 117, 118]]]])
3. with axis = 2
Python3
output -
array([[[[ 1, 2, 3],
[ 51, 52, 53]],[[ 4, 5, 6],
[ 54, 55, 56]],[[ 7, 8, 9],
[ 57, 58, 59]]],
[[[ 10, 11, 12],
[110, 111, 112]],[[ 13, 14, 15],
[113, 114, 115]],[[ 16, 17, 18],
[116, 117, 118]]]])
4. with axis = 3
Python3
output -
array([[[[ 1, 51],
[ 2, 52],
[ 3, 53]],[[ 4, 54],
[ 5, 55],
[ 6, 56]],[[ 7, 57],
[ 8, 58],
[ 9, 59]]],
[[[ 10, 110],
[ 11, 111],
[ 12, 112]],[[ 13, 113],
[ 14, 114],
[ 15, 115]],[[ 16, 116],
[ 17, 117],
[ 18, 118]]]])
