Python: Resize an existing array and fill with zeros

Question

I think that my issue should be really simple, yet I can not find any help on the Internet whatsoever. I am very new to Python, so it is possible that I am missing somethin

Answer 1

This solution works with resize function

Take a sample array

S= np.ones((3))
print (S)
# [ 1.  1.  1.]
d= np.diag(S) 
print(d)
"""
[[ 1.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  1.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  1.]]

"""

This dosent work, it just add a repeating values

np.resize(d,(6,3))
"""
adds a repeating value
array([[ 1.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  1.],
       [ 1.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  1.]])
"""

This does work

d.resize((6,3),refcheck=False)
print(d)
"""
[[ 1.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  1.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  1.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.]]
