NumPy: moveaxis() function

numpy.moveaxis() function

The moveaxis() function is used to move axes of an array to new positions.
Other axes remain in their original order.

Syntax:

numpy.moveaxis(a, source, destination)
NumPy manipulation: moveaxis() function

Version: 1.15.0

Parameter:

Name Description Required /
Optional
a The array whose axes should be reordered. Required
source Original positions of the axes to move. These must be unique. Required
destination Destination positions for each of the original axes. These must also be unique. Required

Return value:

result [np.ndarray] Array with moved axes. This array is a view of the input array

Example-1: numpy.moveaxis()

>> import numpy as np
>>> y = np.zeros((2,3,4))
>>> print("Initial Shape:",y.shape)
Initial Shape: (2, 3, 4)
>>> print(y)
[[[ 0.  0.  0.  0.]
  [ 0.  0.  0.  0.]
  [ 0.  0.  0.  0.]]

 [[ 0.  0.  0.  0.]
  [ 0.  0.  0.  0.]
  [ 0.  0.  0.  0.]]]
>>> z =  np.moveaxis(y, 0, -2)
>>> print("\nNew Shape:",z.shape)

New Shape: (3, 2, 4)
>>> print(z)
[[[ 0.  0.  0.  0.]
  [ 0.  0.  0.  0.]]

 [[ 0.  0.  0.  0.]
  [ 0.  0.  0.  0.]]

 [[ 0.  0.  0.  0.]
  [ 0.  0.  0.  0.]]]
