Broadcast values along this axis, if aligning two objects of different dimensions. .. deprecated:: 2.1 Returns ------- tuple of ({klass}, type of other) Aligned objects. Examples -------- >>> df = pd.DataFrame( ... [[1, 2, 3, 4], [6, 7, 8, 9]], columns=["D", "B", "E", "A"], index=[1, 2] ... ) >>> other = pd.DataFrame( ... [[10, 20, 30, 40], [60, 70, 80, 90], [600, 700, 800, 900]], ... columns=["A", "B", "C", "D"], ... index=[2, 3, 4], ... ) >>> df D B E A 1 1 2 3 4 2 6 7 8 9 >>> other A B C D 2 10 20 30 40 3 60 70 80 90 4 600 700 800 900 Align on columns: >>> left, right = df.align(other, join="outer", axis=1) >>> left A B C D E 1 4 2 NaN 1 3 2 9 7 NaN 6 8 >>> right A B C D E 2 10 20 30 40 NaN 3 60 70 80 90 NaN 4 600 700 800 900 NaN We can also align on the index: >>> left, right = df.align(other, join="outer", axis=0) >>> left D B E A 1 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 2 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN >>> right A B C D 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 3 60.0 70.0 80.0 90.0 4 600.0 700.0 800.0 900.0 Finally, the default `axis=None` will align on both index and columns: >>> left, right = df.align(other, join="outer", axis=None) >>> left A B C D E 1 4.0 2.0 NaN 1.0 3.0 2 9.0 7.0 NaN 6.0 8.0 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN >>> right A B C D E 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 NaN 3 60.0 70.0 80.0 90.0 NaN 4 600.0 700.0 800.0 900.0 NaN z3The 'method', 'limit', and 'fill_axis' keywords in zt.align are deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Call fillna directly on the returned objects instead.rņ
