# numpy.moveaxis

numpy.moveaxis(a, source, destination)

  Move axes of an array to new positions.

  Other axes remain in their original order.

  Parameters:
    a np.ndarray

      The array whose axes should be reordered.

    source int or sequence of int

      Original positions of the axes to move. These must be unique.

    destination int or sequence of int

      Destination positions for each of the original axes. These must also be unique.

  Returns:
    result np.ndarray

      Array with moved axes. This array is a view of the input array.

  See also

  `transpose`

    Permute the dimensions of an array.

  `swapaxes`

    Interchange two axes of an array.

  Examples

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> x = np.zeros((3, 4, 5))
      >>> np.moveaxis(x, 0, -1).shape
      (4, 5, 3)
      >>> np.moveaxis(x, -1, 0).shape
      (5, 3, 4)

  These all achieve the same result:

      >>> np.transpose(x).shape
      (5, 4, 3)
      >>> np.swapaxes(x, 0, -1).shape
      (5, 4, 3)
      >>> np.moveaxis(x, [0, 1], [-1, -2]).shape
      (5, 4, 3)
      >>> np.moveaxis(x, [0, 1, 2], [-1, -2, -3]).shape
      (5, 4, 3)
