The arrays must have the same shape along all but the second axis, except 1-D arrays which can be any length. dtype : str or dtype If provided, the destination array will have this dtype. Cannot be provided together with `out`. .. versionadded:: 1.24 casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional Controls what kind of data casting may occur. Defaults to 'same_kind'. .. versionadded:: 1.24 Returns ------- stacked : ndarray The array formed by stacking the given arrays. See Also -------- concatenate : Join a sequence of arrays along an existing axis. stack : Join a sequence of arrays along a new axis. block : Assemble an nd-array from nested lists of blocks. vstack : Stack arrays in sequence vertically (row wise). dstack : Stack arrays in sequence depth wise (along third axis). column_stack : Stack 1-D arrays as columns into a 2-D array. hsplit : Split an array into multiple sub-arrays horizontally (column-wise). Examples -------- >>> a = np.array((1,2,3)) >>> b = np.array((4,5,6)) >>> np.hstack((a,b)) array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]) >>> a = np.array([[1],[2],[3]]) >>> b = np.array([[4],[5],[6]]) >>> np.hstack((a,b)) array([[1, 4], [2, 5], [3, 6]]) r
