pymel.util.Array

class Array(*args, **kwargs)

A generic n-dimensional array class using nested lists for storage.

Arrays can be built from numeric values, iterables, nested lists or other Array instances

>>> Array()
Array([])
>>> Array(2)
Array([2])
>>> A = Array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [3, 4]]
>>> A = Array([1, 2], [3, 4])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [3, 4]]
>>> A = Array([[1, 2]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2]]
>>> A = Array([1], [2], [3])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1],
 [2],
 [3]]
>>> A = Array([[[1], [2], [3]]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[[1],
  [2],
  [3]]]

You can query some Array characteristics with the properties shape, ndim (number of dimensions) and size, the total number of numeric components

>>> A = Array(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]
>>> A.shape
(3, 3)
>>> A.ndim
2
>>> A.size
9

Arrays are stored as nested lists and derive from the ‘list’ class.

>>> A.data
[Array([1, 2, 3]), Array([4, 5, 6]), Array([7, 8, 9])]
>>> list(A)
[Array([1, 2, 3]), Array([4, 5, 6]), Array([7, 8, 9])]

Initialization from another Array does a shallow copy, not a deepcopy, unless the Array argument is resized / reshaped.

>>> B = Array(A)
>>> print B.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]
>>> B == A
True
>>> B is A
False
>>> B[0] is A[0]
True
>>> C = Array([A])
>>> print C.formated()
[[[1, 2, 3],
  [4, 5, 6],
  [7, 8, 9]]]
>>> C[0] is A
True
>>> C[0,0] is A[0]
True

You can pass optional shape information at creation with the keyword arguments shape, ndim and size. The provided data will be expanded to fit the desirable shape, either repeating it if it’s a valid sub-array of the requested shape, or padding it with the Array default value (0 unless defined otherwise in an Array sub-class).

Value will be repeated if it is a valid sub-array of the Array requested

>>> A = Array(1, shape=(2, 2))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 1],
 [1, 1]]

It will be padded otherwise, with the Array class default value

>>> A = Array(1, 2, shape=(4,))
>>> print A.formated()
[1, 2, 0, 0]

Or a combination of both, first pad it to a valid sub-array then repeat it

>>> A = Array(1, 2, shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 0],
 [1, 2, 0],
 [1, 2, 0]]

Repeat can occur in any dimension

>>> A = Array([1, 2, 3], shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [1, 2, 3],
 [1, 2, 3]]

TODO : #>>> A = Array([[1], [2], [3]], shape=(3, 3)) #>>> print A.formated() #[[1, 1, 1], # [2, 2, 2], # [3, 3, 3]]

To avoid repetition, you can use a nested list of the desired number of dimensions

>>> A = Array([1,2,3], shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [1, 2, 3],
 [1, 2, 3]]
>>> A = Array([[1,2,3]], shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0]]

If sub-array and requested array have same number of dimensions, padding with row / columns will be used (useful for the MatrixN sub-class or Array)

>>> A = Array(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]
>>> B = Array(A, shape=(4, 4))
>>> print B.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0]]

Initialization will not allow to truncate data, if you provide more arguments than the requested array shape can fit, it will raise an exception. Use an explicit trim / resize or item indexing if you want to extract a sub-array

>>> A = Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], shape=(2, 2))
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: cannot initialize a Array of shape (2, 2) from [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] of shape (5,),
as it would truncate data or reduce the number of dimensions

T

The transposed array

all(*args, **kwargs)

a.all([axis0[, axis1[, ...]]]) <=> all(a, axis=(axis0, axis1, ...))

Returns True if all the components of iterable a evaluate to True. If axis are specified will return an Array of all(x) for x in a.axisiter(*axis).

>>> A = Array([[True,True,True],[False,True,False]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[True, True, True],
 [False, True, False]]
>>> A.all()
False
>>> A.all(0, 1)
False
>>> A.all(0)
Array([False, True, False])
>>> A.all(1)
Array([True, False])

any(*args, **kwargs)

a.any([axis0[, axis1[, ...]]]) <=> any(a, axis=(axis0, axis1, ...))

Returns True if any of the components of iterable a evaluate to True. If axis are specified will return an Array of any(x) for x in a.axisiter(*axis).

>>> A = Array([[False,True,True],[False,True,False]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[False, True, True],
 [False, True, False]]
>>> A.any()
True
>>> A.any(0, 1)
True
>>> A.any(0)
Array([False, True, True])
>>> A.any(1)
Array([True, True])

apicls

append(other, axis=0)

a.append(b[, axis=0])

>>> print A.formated()
[[0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0]]

filled(value=None)

a.filled([value]) –> Array

Returns a copy (deepcopy) of a, filled with value for a’s shape. If no value is given, a is filled with the class default. value will be expended with the class default values to the nearest matching sub array of a, then repeated. value can’t be truncated and will raise an error if of a size superior to the size of the nearest matching sub array of the class, to avoid improper casts.

Note : value is copied (deepcopy) as many times as it is inserted in a, not referenced.

Examples:

>>> Array(shape=(5,)).filled([0, 1, 2])
Array([0, 1, 2, 0, 0])
>>> Array(shape=(5,)).filled(2)
Array([2, 2, 2, 2, 2])
>>> print Array(shape=(2, 2)).filled(1).formated()
[[1, 1],
 [1, 1]]
>>> A = Array(shape=(3, 3)).filled([1, 2, 3])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [1, 2, 3],
 [1, 2, 3]]
>>> A[0] == A[-1]
True
>>> A[0] is A[-1]
False
>>> A = Array(shape=(3, 3)).filled([1, 2])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 0],
 [1, 2, 0],
 [1, 2, 0]]
>>> Array(shape=(2, 2)).filled([1, 2, 3])
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: value of shape (3,) cannot be fit in a Array of shape (2, 2), some data would be lost

fit(other)

a.fit(b)

Fits the Array b in a. For every component of a that exists in b (there is a component of same coordinates in b), replace it with the value of the corresponding component in b. Both Arrays a and b must have same number of dimensions.

Note : copies (deepcopy) of b sub-arrays are fit in a, not references, but modification of a is done in-place.

>>> A = Array(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]
>>> B = Array(shape=(4, 3))
>>> print B.formated()
[[0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0]]
>>> S = B[-1]
>>> B.fit(A)
>>> print B.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9],
 [0, 0, 0]]
>>> B[0] == A[0]
True
>>> B[0] is A[0]
False
>>> S == B[-1]
True
>>> S is B[-1]
True

>>> B.fit(A)
>>> print B.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [4, 5]]

fitted(other)

a.fitted(b) –> Array

Returns the result of fitting the Array b in a. For every component of a that exists in b (there is a component of same coordinates in b), replace it with the value of the corresponding component in b. Both Arrays a and b must have same number of dimensions.

Returns a copy (deepcopy) of a with the elements designated by index stripped, as in a.strip(index)

Note : as opposed to a.deleted(index), will collapse dimensions of the Array that end up with only one sub-array.

>>> A = Array(xrange(1, 28), shape=(3, 3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[[1, 2, 3],
  [4, 5, 6],
  [7, 8, 9]],

  [13, 14, 15],
  [16, 17, 18]],
<BLANKLINE>
 [[19, 20, 21],
  [22, 23, 24],
  [25, 26, 27]]]
>>> A.shape
(3, 3, 3)
>>> B = A.stripped(1)
>>> print B.formated()
[[[1, 2, 3],
  [4, 5, 6],
  [7, 8, 9]],
<BLANKLINE>
 [[19, 20, 21],
  [22, 23, 24],
  [25, 26, 27]]]
>>> B[0] == A[0]
True
>>> B[0] is A[0]
False
>>> B = B.stripped(-1)
>>> print B.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],

>>> B == A[0]
True
>>> B is A[0]
False
>>> B[0] == A[0, 0]
True
>>> B[0] is A[0,0]
False
>>> B = B.stripped(None, slice(1,3))
>>> print B.formated()
[[1],
 [4],
 [7]]
>>> B = B.stripped(-1)
>>> print B.formated()
[[1],
 [4]]
>>> B = B.stripped(-1)
>>> print B.formated()
[1]
>>> B = B.stripped(-1)
>>> print B.formated()
[]

subiter(dim=None)

a.subiter([dim=None]) –> ArrayIter

Returns an iterator on all sub Arrays for a specific sub Array number of dimension.

a.subiter(0) is equivalent to a.flat: lista sub-arrays of dimension 0, ie components a.subiter() is equivalent to self.subiter(self.ndim-1) and thus to self.__iter__()

Note : ArrayIter iterators support __len__, __getitem__ and __setitem__

>>> A = Array(range(1, 28), shape=(3, 3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[[1, 2, 3],
  [4, 5, 6],
  [7, 8, 9]],
<BLANKLINE>
 [[10, 11, 12],
  [13, 14, 15],
  [16, 17, 18]],
<BLANKLINE>
 [[19, 20, 21],
  [22, 23, 24],
  [25, 26, 27]]]
>>> [a for a in A.subiter(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]

>>> [a for a in A.subiter(3)]
Traceback (most recent call last):

sum(*args, **kwargs)

a.sum([axis0[, axis1[, ...[, start=0]]]]) <=> sum(a, start=start, axis=(axis0, axis1, ...))

Returns the sum of all the components of a, plus start. If axis are specified will return an Array of sum(x) for x in a.axisiter(*axis), else will sum on all axis of a.

>>> A = Array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6]]
>>> A.sum()
21
>>> A.sum(0, 1)
21
>>> A.sum(0)
Array([5, 7, 9])
>>> A.sum(1)
Array([6, 15])

tolist()

a.tolist() –> list

Returns that Array converted to a nested list

>>> A = Array(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print repr(A)
Array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
>>> print repr(list(A))
[Array([1, 2, 3]), Array([4, 5, 6]), Array([7, 8, 9])]
>>> print repr(A.tolist())
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

transpose(*args)

a.transpose([axis0[, axis1[, ...]]]) –> Array

Returns a reordered / transposed along the specified axes. If no axes are given,or None is passed, switches the complete axes order. For a 2-d array, this is the usual matrix transpose.

>>> A = Array(range(18), shape=(2,3,3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[[0, 1, 2],
  [3, 4, 5],
  [6, 7, 8]],
<BLANKLINE>
 [[9, 10, 11],
  [12, 13, 14],
  [15, 16, 17]]]
>>> print A.transpose().formated()
[[[0, 9],
  [3, 12],
  [6, 15]],
<BLANKLINE>
 [[1, 10],
  [4, 13],
  [7, 16]],
<BLANKLINE>
 [[2, 11],
  [5, 14],
  [8, 17]]]
>>> print A.transpose(0,2,1).formated()
[[[0, 3, 6],
  [1, 4, 7],
  [2, 5, 8]],
<BLANKLINE>
 [[9, 12, 15],
  [10, 13, 16],
  [11, 14, 17]]]

>>> B=MatrixN(range(9), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print B.formated()
[[0, 1, 2],
 [3, 4, 5],
 [6, 7, 8]]
>>> print B.transpose().formated()
[[0, 3, 6],
 [1, 4, 7],
 [2, 5, 8]]

trim(shape=None, value=None)

a.trim(shape) Performs in-place trimming of array a to given shape. An optional value argument can be passed and will be used to fill the newly created components if the resize results in a size increase.

Note : a is modified in-place

>>> A = Array(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]
>>> S = A[0]
>>> A.trim(shape=(4, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9],
 [0, 0, 0]]
>>> S == A[0]
True
>>> S is A[0]
True
>>> A.trim(shape=(4, 4))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0]]
>>> A.trim(shape=(2, 2))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [4, 5]]

trimmed(shape=None, value=None)

a.trimmed([shape [, value]]) –> Array

Returns the Array as “trimmed”, re-sized according to the shape argument. The difference with a resize is that each dimension will be resized individually, thus the shape argument must have the same number of dimensions as the Array a. A value of -1 or None for a shape dimension size will leave it unchanged. An optional value argument can be passed and will be used to fill the newly created components if the trimmed results in a size increase, otherwise the class default values will be used to fill new components

Note : returns a copy (deepcopy) of a.trim([shape [, value]])

>>> A = Array(range(1, 10), shape=(3, 3))
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]
>>> B = A.trimmed(shape=(4, 3))
>>> print B.formated()
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9],
 [0, 0, 0]]
>>> B[0] == A[0]
True
>>> B[0] is A[0]
False
>>> B = A.trimmed(shape=(4, 4))
>>> print B.formated()
[[1, 2, 3, 0],
 [4, 5, 6, 0],
 [7, 8, 9, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0]]
>>> B = A.trimmed(shape=(2, 2))
>>> print B.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [4, 5]]

vstack(other)

a.vstack(b) <==> a.stack(b, axis=0)

Modifies a by concatenating b at its end, as iterated on first axis. For a 2 dimensional Array/MatrixN, it stacks a and b vertically

>>> A = Array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [3, 4]]
>>> A.vstack([[5, 6]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [3, 4],
 [5, 6]]

vstacked(other)

a.vstacked(b) <==> a.stacked(b, axis=0)

Returns the Array obtained by concatenating a and b on first axis. For a 2 dimensional Array/MatrixN, it stacks a and b vertically.

>>> A = Array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [3, 4]]
>>> A = A.vstacked([[5, 6]])
>>> print A.formated()
[[1, 2],
 [3, 4],
 [5, 6]]
