Hello,
I have a numpy array (2 rows 3 colums)
import numpy
a=numpy.array( [ [1,2,3] , [3,3,1] ])
I wish to add a row, this is how i do it
s=a.shape
numpy.resize(a,s[0]+1,s[1])
a[s[0]]=new row vector.
Q: Is this a costly operation?
It can be if you have large arrays.
What happens if i have to it several
(and unknown) number of times?
is there a simpler way to add a row?
numpy.vstack([a, newrow])
Generally speaking, you shouldn't resize numpy arrays. If you need to construct
an array by appending, build up a list instead and use vstack() (or hstack() or
dstack() or column_stack() or concatenate() depending on the geometry).
We also have a numpy mailing list, which you should direct future numpy
questions to:
