numpy.vstack

numpy.vstack(tup)

Stack arrays in sequence vertically (row wise).

This is equivalent to concatenation along the first axis after 1-D arrays of shape (N,) have been reshaped to (1,N). Rebuilds arrays divided by vsplit.

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.

Parameters:

tup : sequence of ndarrays

The arrays must have the same shape along all but the first axis. 1-D arrays must have the same length.

Returns:

stacked : ndarray

The array formed by stacking the given arrays, will be at least 2-D.

See also

stack

Join a sequence of arrays along a new axis.

hstack

Stack arrays in sequence horizontally (column wise).

dstack

Stack arrays in sequence depth wise (along third dimension).

concatenate

Join a sequence of arrays along an existing axis.

vsplit

Split array into a list of multiple sub-arrays vertically.

block

Assemble arrays from blocks.

Examples

>>> a = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>> b = np.array([2, 3, 4])
>>> np.vstack((a,b))
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [2, 3, 4]])

>>> a = np.array([[1], [2], [3]])
>>> b = np.array([[2], [3], [4]])
>>> np.vstack((a,b))
array([[1],
       [2],
       [3],
       [2],
       [3],
       [4]])
