Concatenating column vectors using numpy arrays

Question

I\'d like to concatenate \'column\' vectors using numpy arrays but because numpy sees all arrays as row vectors by default, np.hstack and np.concatenate

Answer 1

I believe numpy.column_stack should do what you want. Example:

>>> a = np.array((0, 1))
>>> b = np.array((2, 1))
>>> c = np.array((-1, -1))
>>> numpy.column_stack((a,b,c))
array([[ 0,  2, -1],
       [ 1,  1, -1]])

It is essentially equal to

>>> numpy.vstack((a,b,c)).T

though. As it says in the documentation.
