NumPy: hstack() function

numpy.hstack() function

The hstack() function is used to 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 and block provide more general stacking and concatenation operations.

Syntax:

numpy.hstack(tup)

Version: 1.15.0

Parameter:

Return value:

stacked : ndarray The array formed by stacking the given arrays.

Example-1: numpy.hstack()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.array((3,5,7))
>>> y = np.array((5,7,9))
>>> np.hstack((x,y))
array([3, 5, 7, 5, 7, 9])

Example-2: numpy.hstack()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.array([[3], [5], [7]])
>>> y = np.array([[5], [7], [9]])
>>> np.hstack((x,y))
array([[3, 5],
       [5, 7],
       [7, 9]])
