er of times given by reps. If `reps` has length ``d``, the result will have dimension of ``max(d, A.ndim)``. If ``A.ndim < d``, `A` is promoted to be d-dimensional by prepending new axes. So a shape (3,) array is promoted to (1, 3) for 2-D replication, or shape (1, 1, 3) for 3-D replication. If this is not the desired behavior, promote `A` to d-dimensions manually before calling this function. If ``A.ndim > d``, `reps` is promoted to `A`.ndim by pre-pending 1's to it. Thus for an `A` of shape (2, 3, 4, 5), a `reps` of (2, 2) is treated as (1, 1, 2, 2). Note : Although tile may be used for broadcasting, it is strongly recommended to use numpy's broadcasting operations and functions. Parameters ---------- A : array_like The input array. reps : array_like The number of repetitions of `A` along each axis. Returns ------- c : ndarray The tiled output array. See Also -------- repeat : Repeat elements of an array. broadcast_to : Broadcast an array to a new shape Examples -------- >>> a = np.array([0, 1, 2]) >>> np.tile(a, 2) array([0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]) >>> np.tile(a, (2, 2)) array([[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]]) >>> np.tile(a, (2, 1, 2)) array([[[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]], [[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]]]) >>> b = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]]) >>> np.tile(b, 2) array([[1, 2, 1, 2], [3, 4, 3, 4]]) >>> np.tile(b, (2, 1)) array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [1, 2], [3, 4]]) >>> c = np.array([1,2,3,4]) >>> np.tile(c,(4,1)) array([[1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3, 4]]) c
