>>> from numpy import zeros >>> a = zeros((2,3)) >>> a array([[0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]]) >>> b = a[0] # Subarray >>> b array([0, 0, 0]) |
>>> c = reshape(a,(6,)) # 1D version of 'a' >>> c array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]) >>> a[0,0] = 1 >>> b[1] = 2 >>> c[2] = 3 >>> a array([[1, 2, 3], [0, 0, 0]]) >>> b array([1, 2, 3]) >>> c array([1, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0]) |
The array constructor (built-in function) array() can take an optional boolean argument copy which indicates if the above feature applies or not to the derived array:
>>> a = array((0,0,0)) >>> a array([0, 0, 0]) >>> b = array(a,copy=True) # A copy: does not share its data with 'a' >>> c = array(a,copy=False) # Not a copy: shares its data with 'a' |
>>> a[0] = 1 >>> b[1] = 2 >>> c[2] = 3 >>> a array([1, 0, 3]) >>> b array([0, 2, 0]) >>> c array([1, 0, 3]) |
