Is there a way to do the following without an if clause?
I am reading a set of netcdf files with pupynere and want to build an array with numpy append. Sometimes the input data is multi-dimensional (see below βaβ), sometimes it is one-dimensional (βbβ), but the number of elements in the first dimension is always the same (β9β in the example below).
> import numpy as np
> a = np.arange(27).reshape(3,9)
> b = np.arange(9)
> a.shape
(3, 9)
> b.shape
(9,)
this works as expected:
> np.append(a,a, axis=0)
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],
[ 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]])
but adding b doesn't work so elegantly:
> np.append(a,b, axis=0)
ValueError: arrays must have same number of dimensions
Problem with append (from numpy manual)
When an axis is specified, the values ββmust be in the correct shape.
I need to do the first to get the correct result.
> np.append(a,b.reshape(1,9), axis=0)
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],
[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]])
So, in my file reading loop, I am currently using an if clause similar to this:
for i in [a, b]:
if np.size(i.shape) == 2:
result = np.append(result, i, axis=0)
else:
result = np.append(result, i.reshape(1,9), axis=0)
Is there a way to add "a" and "b" without an if statement?
