I am struggling with a problem from my python class that has been assigned where I have to create a 1D array with the arange function from 0 to 29. Then reshape it into:
An array of rank 2 of the appropriate size.
An array of rank 3 of the appropriate size.
I am able to create the array with z = np.arange(29), however I am unable to reshape it to be a 2d/3d array.
z = np.arange(29)
print(z.shape)
z = z.reshape(2,14)
But then I get an error saying:
ValueError:cannot reshape array of size 29 into shape (2,14)
While the specification is a bit ambiguous, I suspect they want you to generate 30 numbers that include 0 and 29:
In [73]: arr = np.arange(30)
In [74]: arr
Out[74]:
array([ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29])
In [75]: arr.shape
Out[75]: (30,)
There many ways you can reshape this, all of which assume 30 values:
In [76]: arr.reshape(2,15)
Out[76]:
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
[15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29]])
In [77]: arr.reshape(3,10)
Out[77]:
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19],
[20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29]])
In [79]: arr.reshape(2,3,5)
Out[79]:
array([[[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
[ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14]],
[[15, 16, 17, 18, 19],
[20, 21, 22, 23, 24],
[25, 26, 27, 28, 29]]])
Proposed solution based on comments.
Assumption is the that the array should include the numbers from 0 to 28, but it doesn't necessarily have to be of size 29. This allows us to add np.nan as the 30th element allowing the reshape.
import numpy as np
x = np.arange(29)
x = np.append(x, np.nan)
print(x.shape)
y = x.reshape(15, 2)
print(y.shape)
z = x.reshape(5, 3, 2)
print(z.shape)
output:
(30,)
(15, 2)
(5, 3, 2)
Numpy ravel works well if I need to create a vector by reading by rows or by columns. However, I would like to transform a matrix to a 1d array, by using a method that is often used in image processing. This is an example with initial matrix A and final result B:
A = np.array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11],
[12, 13, 14, 15]])
B = np.array([[ 0, 1, 4, 8, 5, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 10, 7, 11, 14, 15])
Is there an existing function already that could help me with that? If not, can you give me some hints on how to solve this problem? PS. the matrix A is NxN.
I've been using numpy for several years, and I've never seen such a function.
Here's one way you could do it (not necessarily the most efficient):
In [47]: a
Out[47]:
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11],
[12, 13, 14, 15]])
In [48]: np.concatenate([np.diagonal(a[::-1,:], k)[::(2*(k % 2)-1)] for k in range(1-a.shape[0], a.shape[0])])
Out[48]: array([ 0, 1, 4, 8, 5, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 10, 7, 11, 14, 15])
Breaking down the one-liner into separate steps:
a[::-1, :] reverses the rows:
In [59]: a[::-1, :]
Out[59]:
array([[12, 13, 14, 15],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11],
[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 0, 1, 2, 3]])
(This could also be written a[::-1] or np.flipud(a).)
np.diagonal(a, k) extracts the kth diagonal, where k=0 is the main diagonal. So, for example,
In [65]: np.diagonal(a[::-1, :], -3)
Out[65]: array([0])
In [66]: np.diagonal(a[::-1, :], -2)
Out[66]: array([4, 1])
In [67]: np.diagonal(a[::-1, :], 0)
Out[67]: array([12, 9, 6, 3])
In [68]: np.diagonal(a[::-1, :], 2)
Out[68]: array([14, 11])
In the list comprehension, k gives the diagonal to be extracted. We want to reverse the elements in every other diagonal. The expression 2*(k % 2) - 1 gives the values 1, -1, 1, ... as k varies from -3 to 3. Indexing with [::1] leaves the order of the array being indexed unchanged, and indexing with [::-1] reverses the order of the array. So np.diagonal(a[::-1, :], k)[::(2*(k % 2)-1)] gives the kth diagonal, but with every other diagonal reversed:
In [71]: [np.diagonal(a[::-1,:], k)[::(2*(k % 2)-1)] for k in range(1-a.shape[0], a.shape[0])]
Out[71]:
[array([0]),
array([1, 4]),
array([8, 5, 2]),
array([ 3, 6, 9, 12]),
array([13, 10, 7]),
array([11, 14]),
array([15])]
np.concatenate() puts them all into a single array:
In [72]: np.concatenate([np.diagonal(a[::-1,:], k)[::(2*(k % 2)-1)] for k in range(1-a.shape[0], a.shape[0])])
Out[72]: array([ 0, 1, 4, 8, 5, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 10, 7, 11, 14, 15])
I found discussion of zigzag scan for MATLAB, but not much for numpy. One project appears to use a hardcoded indexing array for 8x8 blocks
https://github.com/lot9s/lfv-compression/blob/master/scripts/our_mpeg/zigzag.py
ZIG = np.array([[0, 1, 5, 6, 14, 15, 27, 28],
[2, 4, 7, 13, 16, 26, 29, 42],
[3, 8, 12, 17, 25, 30, 41, 43],
[9, 11, 18, 24, 31, 40, 44,53],
[10, 19, 23, 32, 39, 45, 52,54],
[20, 22, 33, 38, 46, 51, 55,60],
[21, 34, 37, 47, 50, 56, 59,61],
[35, 36, 48, 49, 57, 58, 62,63]])
Apparently it's used jpeg and mpeg compression.
Using NumPy, I would like to produce a list of all lines and diagonals of an n-dimensional array with lengths of k.
Take the case of the following three-dimensional array with lengths of three.
array([[[ 0, 1, 2],
[ 3, 4, 5],
[ 6, 7, 8]],
[[ 9, 10, 11],
[12, 13, 14],
[15, 16, 17]],
[[18, 19, 20],
[21, 22, 23],
[24, 25, 26]]])
For this case, I would like to obtain all of the following types of sequences. For any given case, I would like to obtain all of the possible sequences of each type. Examples of desired sequences are given in parentheses below, for each case.
1D lines
x axis (0, 1, 2)
y axis (0, 3, 6)
z axis (0, 9, 18)
2D diagonals
x/y axes (0, 4, 8, 2, 4, 6)
x/z axes (0, 10, 20, 2, 10, 18)
y/z axes (0, 12, 24, 6, 12, 18)
3D diagonals
x/y/z axes (0, 13, 26, 2, 13, 24)
The solution should be generalized, so that it will generate all lines and diagonals for an array, regardless of the array's number of dimensions or length (which is constant across all dimensions).
This solution generalized over n
Lets rephrase this problem as "find the list of indices".
We're looking for all of the 2d index arrays of the form
array[i[0], i[1], i[2], ..., i[n-1]]
Let n = arr.ndim
Where i is an array of shape (n, k)
Each of i[j] can be one of:
The same index repeated n times, ri[j] = [j, ..., j]
The forward sequence, fi = [0, 1, ..., k-1]
The backward sequence, bi = [k-1, ..., 1, 0]
With the requirements that each sequence is of the form ^(ri)*(fi)(fi|bi|ri)*$ (using regex to summarize it). This is because:
there must be at least one fi so the "line" is not a point selected repeatedly
no bis come before fis, to avoid getting reversed lines
def product_slices(n):
for i in range(n):
yield (
np.index_exp[np.newaxis] * i +
np.index_exp[:] +
np.index_exp[np.newaxis] * (n - i - 1)
)
def get_lines(n, k):
"""
Returns:
index (tuple): an object suitable for advanced indexing to get all possible lines
mask (ndarray): a boolean mask to apply to the result of the above
"""
fi = np.arange(k)
bi = fi[::-1]
ri = fi[:,None].repeat(k, axis=1)
all_i = np.concatenate((fi[None], bi[None], ri), axis=0)
# inedx which look up every possible line, some of which are not valid
index = tuple(all_i[s] for s in product_slices(n))
# We incrementally allow lines that start with some number of `ri`s, and an `fi`
# [0] here means we chose fi for that index
# [2:] here means we chose an ri for that index
mask = np.zeros((all_i.shape[0],)*n, dtype=np.bool)
sl = np.index_exp[0]
for i in range(n):
mask[sl] = True
sl = np.index_exp[2:] + sl
return index, mask
Applied to your example:
# construct your example array
n = 3
k = 3
data = np.arange(k**n).reshape((k,)*n)
# apply my index_creating function
index, mask = get_lines(n, k)
# apply the index to your array
lines = data[index][mask]
print(lines)
array([[ 0, 13, 26],
[ 2, 13, 24],
[ 0, 12, 24],

[20, 23, 26],
[18, 19, 20],
[21, 22, 23],
[24, 25, 26]])
Another good set of test data is np.moveaxis(np.indices((k,)*n), 0, -1), which gives an array where every value is its own index
I've solved this problem before to implement a higher dimensional tic-tac-toe
In [1]: x=np.arange(27).reshape(3,3,3)
Selecting individual rows is easy:
In [2]: x[0,0,:]
Out[2]: array([0, 1, 2])
In [3]: x[0,:,0]
Out[3]: array([0, 3, 6])
In [4]: x[:,0,0]
Out[4]: array([ 0, 9, 18])
You could iterate over dimensions with an index list:
In [10]: idx=[slice(None),0,0]
In [11]: x[idx]
Out[11]: array([ 0, 9, 18])
In [12]: idx[2]+=1
In [13]: x[idx]
Out[13]: array([ 1, 10, 19])
Look at the code for np.apply_along_axis to see how it implements this sort of iteration.
Reshape and split can also produce a list of rows. For some dimensions this might require a transpose:
In [20]: np.split(x.reshape(x.shape[0],-1),9,axis=1)
Out[20]:
[array([[ 0],
[ 9],
[18]]), array([[ 1],
[10],
[19]]), array([[ 2],
[11],
...
np.diag can get diagonals from 2d subarrays
In [21]: np.diag(x[0,:,:])
Out[21]: array([0, 4, 8])
In [22]: np.diag(x[1,:,:])
Out[22]: array([ 9, 13, 17])
In [23]: np.diag?
In [24]: np.diag(x[1,:,:],1)
Out[24]: array([10, 14])
In [25]: np.diag(x[1,:,:],-1)
Out[25]: array([12, 16])
And explore np.diagonal for direct application to the 3d. It's also easy to index the array directly, with range and arange, x[0,range(3),range(3)].
As far as I know there isn't a function to step through all these alternatives. Since dimensions of the returned arrays can differ, there's little point to producing such a function in compiled numpy code. So even if there was a function, it would step through the alternatives as I outlined.
==============
All the 1d lines
x.reshape(-1,3)
x.transpose(0,2,1).reshape(-1,3)
x.transpose(1,2,0).reshape(-1,3)
y/z diagonal and anti-diagonal
In [154]: i=np.arange(3)
In [155]: j=np.arange(2,-1,-1)
In [156]: np.concatenate((x[:,i,i],x[:,i,j]),axis=1)
Out[156]:
array([[ 0, 4, 8, 2, 4, 6],
[ 9, 13, 17, 11, 13, 15],
[18, 22, 26, 20, 22, 24]])
np.einsum can be used to build all these kind of expressions; for instance:
# 3d diagonals
print(np.einsum('iii->i', a))
# 2d diagonals
print(np.einsum('iij->ij', a))
print(np.einsum('iji->ij', a))
Let's say I have the following array:
a = np.array([[1,2,3,4,5,6],
[7,8,9,10,11,12],
[3,5,6,7,8,9]])
I want to sum the first two values of the first row: 1+2 = 3, then next two values: 3+4 = 7, and then 5+6 = 11, and so on for every row. My desired output is this:
array([[ 3, 7, 11],
[15, 19, 23],
[ 8, 13, 17]])
I have the following solution:
def sum_chunks(x, chunk_size):
rows, cols = x.shape
x = x.reshape(x.size / chunk_size, chunk_size)
return x.sum(axis=1).reshape(rows, cols/chunk_size)
But it feels unnecessarily complicated, is there a better way? Perhaps a built-in?
Just use slicing:
a[:,::2] + a[:,1::2]
This takes the array formed by every even-indexed column (::2), and adds it to the array formed by every odd-indexed column (1::2).
When I have to do this kind of stuff, I prefer reshaping the 2D array into a 3D array, then collapse the extra dimension with np.sum. Generalizing it to n-dimensional arrays, you could do something like this:
def sum_chunk(x, chunk_size, axis=-1):
shape = x.shape
if axis < 0:
axis += x.ndim
shape = shape[:axis] + (-1, chunk_size) + shape[axis+1:]
x = x.reshape(shape)
return x.sum(axis=axis+1)
>>> a = np.arange(24).reshape(4, 6)
>>> a
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
[ 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11],
[12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17],
[18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]])
>>> sum_chunk(a, 2)
array([[ 1, 5, 9],
[13, 17, 21],
[25, 29, 33],
[37, 41, 45]])
>>> sum_chunk(a, 2, axis=0)
array([[ 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16],
[30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40]])
Here's one way:
>>> a[:,::2] + a[:,1::2]
array([[ 3, 7, 11],
[15, 19, 23],
[ 8, 13, 17]])
I have a multidimensional NumPy array:
In [1]: m = np.arange(1,26).reshape((5,5))
In [2]: m
Out[2]:
array([[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
[ 6, 7, 8, 9, 10],
[11, 12, 13, 14, 15],
[16, 17, 18, 19, 20],
[21, 22, 23, 24, 25]])
and another array p = np.asarray([[1,1],[3,3]]). I wanted p to act as a array of indexes for m, i.e.:
m[p]
array([7, 19])
However I get:
In [4]: m[p]
Out[4]:
array([[[ 6, 7, 8, 9, 10],
[ 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]],
[[16, 17, 18, 19, 20],
[16, 17, 18, 19, 20]]])
How can I get the desired slice of m using p?
Numpy is using your array to index the first dimension only. As a general rule, indices for a multidimensional array should be in a tuple. This will get you a little closer to what you want:
>>> m[tuple(p)]
array([9, 9])
But now you are indexing the first dimension twice with 1, and the second twice with 3. To index the first dimension with a 1 and a 3, and then the second with a 1 and a 3 also, you could transpose your array:
>>> m[tuple(p.T)]
array([ 7, 19])
