NumPy的数组类称为ndarray。 它也被别名数组所知。 请注意，numpy.array与标准Python库类array.array不同，后者仅处理一维数组并提供较少的功能。 ndarray对象的更重要的属性是：
ndarray.ndim
the number of axes (dimensions) of the array.
ndarray.shape
the dimensions of the array. This is a tuple of integers indicating the size of the array in each dimension. For a matrix with n rows and m columns, shape will be (n,m). The length of the shape tuple is therefore the number of axes, ndim.
ndarray.size
the total number of elements of the array. This is equal to the product of the elements of shape.
ndarray.dtype
an object describing the type of the elements in the array. One can create or specify dtype’s using standard Python types. Additionally NumPy provides types of its own. numpy.int32, numpy.int16, and numpy.float64 are some examples.
ndarray.itemsize
the size in bytes of each element of the array. For example, an array of elements of type float64 has itemsize 8 (=64/8), while one of type complex32 has itemsize 4 (=32/8). It is equivalent to ndarray.dtype.itemsize.
ndarray.data
the buffer containing the actual elements of the array. Normally, we won’t need to use this attribute because we will access the elements in an array using indexing facilities.
例子：
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.arange(15).reshape(3, 5)
>>> a
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
[ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14]])
>>> a.shape
(3, 5)
>>> a.ndim
2
>>> a.dtype.name
'int64'
>>> a.itemsize
8
>>> a.size
15
>>> type(a)
<type 'numpy.ndarray'>
>>> b = np.array([6, 7, 8])
>>> b
array([6, 7, 8])
>>> type(b)
<type 'numpy.ndarray'>数组的创建
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([2,3,4])
>>> a
array([2, 3, 4])
>>> a.dtype
dtype('int64')
>>> b = np.array([1.2, 3.5, 5.1])
>>> b.dtype
dtype('float64')注意这样一个细节：
>>> a = np.array(1,2,3,4) # 错误
>>> a = np.array([1,2,3,4]) # 正确数组将序列序列转换为二维数组，将序列序列转换为三维数组，等等。
>>> b = np.array([(1.5,2,3), (4,5,6)])
>>> b
array([[ 1.5, 2. , 3. ],
[ 4. , 5. , 6. ]])也可以在创建时显式指定数组的类型：
>>> c = np.array( [ [1,2], [3,4] ], dtype=complex )
>>> c
array([[ 1.+0.j, 2.+0.j],
[ 3.+0.j, 4.+0.j]])通常，数组的元素最初是未知的，但其大小是已知的。 因此，NumPy提供了几个函数来创建具有初始占位符内容的数组。 这些最小化了增长阵列的必要性，这是一项昂贵的操作
>>> np.zeros( (3,4) )
array([[ 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[ 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[ 0., 0., 0., 0.]])
>>> np.ones( (2,3,4), dtype=np.int16 ) # dtype can also be specified
array([[[ 1, 1, 1, 1],
[ 1, 1, 1, 1],
[ 1, 1, 1, 1]],
[[ 1, 1, 1, 1],
[ 1, 1, 1, 1],
[ 1, 1, 1, 1]]], dtype=int16)
>>> np.empty( (2,3) ) # uninitialized, output may vary，内容取决于内存
array([[ 3.73603959e-262, 6.02658058e-154, 6.55490914e-260],
[ 5.30498948e-313, 3.14673309e-307, 1.00000000e+000]])为了创建数字序列，NumPy提供了一个类似于返回数组而不是列表的范围的函数。
>>> np.arange( 10, 30, 5 )
array([10, 15, 20, 25])
>>> np.arange( 0, 2, 0.3 ) # it accepts float arguments
array([ 0. , 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8])当arange与浮点参数一起使用时，由于有限的浮点精度，通常无法预测获得的元素数。 出于这个原因，通常最好使用函数linspace作为参数接收我们想要的元素数，而不是步骤：
>>> from numpy import pi
>>> np.linspace( 0, 2, 9 ) # 9 numbers from 0 to 2
array([ 0. , 0.25, 0.5 , 0.75, 1. , 1.25, 1.5 , 1.75, 2. ])
>>> x = np.linspace( 0, 2*pi, 100 ) # useful to evaluate function at lots of points
>>> f = np.sin(x)如果您想要一个以shape-tuple作为第一个参数的接口，请参阅np.random.random_sample。
>>> np.random.rand(3,2)
array([[ 0.14022471, 0.96360618], #random
[ 0.37601032, 0.25528411], #random
[ 0.49313049, 0.94909878]]) #random当您打印数组时，NumPy以与嵌套列表类似的方式显示它，但具有以下布局：
最后一个轴从左到右打印，
倒数第二个从上到下打印，
其余部分也从上到下打印，每个切片用空行分隔。
然后将一维数组打印为行，将二维数据打印为矩阵，将三维数据打印为矩阵列表。
>>> a = np.arange(6) # 1d array
>>> print(a)
[0 1 2 3 4 5]
>>>
>>> b = np.arange(12).reshape(4,3) # 2d array
>>> print(b)
[[ 0 1 2]
[ 3 4 5]
[ 6 7 8]
[ 9 10 11]]
>>>
>>> c = np.arange(24).reshape(2,3,4) # 3d array
>>> print(c)
[[[ 0 1 2 3]
[ 4 5 6 7]
[ 8 9 10 11]]
[[12 13 14 15]
[16 17 18 19]
[20 21 22 23]]]如果数组太大而无法打印，NumPy会自动跳过数组的中心部分并仅打印角落：
>>> print(np.arange(10000))
[ 0 1 2 ..., 9997 9998 9999]
>>>
>>> print(np.arange(10000).reshape(100,100))
[[ 0 1 2 ..., 97 98 99]
[ 100 101 102 ..., 197 198 199]
[ 200 201 202 ..., 297 298 299]
...,
[9700 9701 9702 ..., 9797 9798 9799]
[9800 9801 9802 ..., 9897 9898 9899]
[9900 9901 9902 ..., 9997 9998 9999]]要求全部打印：>>> np.set_printoptions(threshold=np.nan)
数组上的算术运算符应用于元素。 创建一个新数组并填充结果。
>>> a = np.array( [20,30,40,50] )
>>> b = np.arange( 4 )
>>> b
array([0, 1, 2, 3])
>>> c = a-b
>>> c
array([20, 29, 38, 47])
>>> b**2
array([0, 1, 4, 9])
>>> 10*np.sin(a)
array([ 9.12945251, -9.88031624, 7.4511316 , -2.62374854])
>>> a<35
array([ True, True, False, False])与许多矩阵语言不同，产品运算符*在NumPy数组中以元素方式运行。 矩阵乘积可以使用@运算符（在python> = 3.5中）或点函数或方法执行：
>>> A = np.array( [[1,1],
... [0,1]] )
>>> B = np.array( [[2,0],
... [3,4]] )
>>> A * B # elementwise product
array([[2, 0],
[0, 4]])
>>> A @ B # matrix product
array([[5, 4],
[3, 4]])
>>> A.dot(B) # another matrix product
array([[5, 4],
[3, 4]])某些操作（例如+ =和* =）用于修改现有阵列而不是创建新阵列。
>>> a = np.ones((2,3), dtype=int)
>>> b = np.random.random((2,3))
>>> a *= 3
>>> a
array([[3, 3, 3],
[3, 3, 3]])
>>> b += a
>>> b
array([[ 3.417022 , 3.72032449, 3.00011437],
[ 3.30233257, 3.14675589, 3.09233859]])
>>> a += b # b is not automatically converted to integer type
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: Cannot cast ufunc add output from dtype('float64') to dtype('int64') with casting rule 'same_kind'当使用不同类型的数组进行操作时，结果数组的类型对应于更一般或更精确的数组（称为向上转换的行为）。
>>> a = np.ones(3, dtype=np.int32)
>>> b = np.linspace(0,pi,3)
>>> b.dtype.name
'float64'
>>> c = a+b
>>> c
array([ 1. , 2.57079633, 4.14159265])
>>> c.dtype.name
'float64'
>>> d = np.exp(c*1j)
>>> d
array([ 0.54030231+0.84147098j, -0.84147098+0.54030231j,
-0.54030231-0.84147098j])
>>> d.dtype.name
'complex128'很多一元操作,如计算数组中所有元素的总和,是作为ndarray类的方法实现。
>>> a = np.random.random((2,3))
>>> a
array([[ 0.18626021, 0.34556073, 0.39676747],
[ 0.53881673, 0.41919451, 0.6852195 ]])

>>> a.max()
0.6852195003967595默认情况下,这些操作适用于数组,好像一个数字列表,无论其形状。然而,通过指定轴参数可以应用一个操作沿着指定轴的数组:
>>> b = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4)
>>> b
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11]])
>>>
>>> b.sum(axis=0) # sum of each column
array([12, 15, 18, 21])
>>>
>>> b.min(axis=1) # min of each row
array([0, 4, 8])
>>>
>>> b.cumsum(axis=1) # cumulative sum along each row
array([[ 0, 1, 3, 6],
[ 4, 9, 15, 22],
[ 8, 17, 27, 38]])NumPy提供熟悉的数学函数，例如sin，cos和exp。 在NumPy中，这些被称为“通用函数”（ufunc）。 在NumPy中，这些函数在数组上以元素方式运行，产生一个数组作为输出。
>>> B = np.arange(3)
>>> B
array([0, 1, 2])
>>> np.exp(B)
array([ 1. , 2.71828183, 7.3890561 ])
>>> np.sqrt(B)
array([ 0. , 1. , 1.41421356])
>>> C = np.array([2., -1., 4.])
>>> np.add(B, C)
array([ 2., 0., 6.])一维数组可以被索引，切片和迭代，就像列表和其他Python序列一样。
>>> a = np.arange(10)**3
>>> a
array([ 0, 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729])
>>> a[2]
8
>>> a[2:5]
array([ 8, 27, 64])
>>> a[:6:2] = -1000 # equivalent to a[0:6:2] = -1000; from start to position 6, exclusive, set every 2nd element to -1000
>>> a
array([-1000, 1, -1000, 27, -1000, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729])
>>> a[ : :-1] # reversed a
array([ 729, 512, 343, 216, 125, -1000, 27, -1000, 1, -1000])
>>> for i in a:
... print(i**(1/3.))
...
nan

nan
3.0
nan
5.0
6.0
7.0
8.0
9.0多维数组每个轴可以有一个索引。 这些索引以逗号分隔的元组给出：
>>> def f(x,y):
... return 10*x+y
...
>>> b = np.fromfunction(f,(5,4),dtype=int)
>>> b
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[10, 11, 12, 13],
[20, 21, 22, 23],
[30, 31, 32, 33],
[40, 41, 42, 43]])
>>> b[2,3]
23
>>> b[0:5, 1] # each row in the second column of b
array([ 1, 11, 21, 31, 41])
>>> b[ : ,1] # equivalent to the previous example
array([ 1, 11, 21, 31, 41])
>>> b[1:3, : ] # each column in the second and third row of b
array([[10, 11, 12, 13],
[20, 21, 22, 23]])当提供的索引数少于轴数时，缺失的索引将被视为完整切片：
>>> b[-1] # the last row. Equivalent to b[-1,:]
array([40, 41, 42, 43])b [i]中括号内的表达式被视为i，后跟多个实例：根据需要表示剩余的轴。 NumPy还允许你使用点作为b [i，…]来写这个。点（…）表示生成完整索引元组所需的冒号。 例如，如果x是一个包含5个轴的数组，那么
x[1,2,...] is equivalent to x[1,2,:,:,:],
x[...,3] to x[:,:,:,:,3] and
x[4,...,5,:] to x[4,:,:,5,:].
>>>
>>> c = np.array( [[[ 0, 1, 2], # a 3D array (two stacked 2D arrays)
... [ 10, 12, 13]],
... [[100,101,102],
... [110,112,113]]])
>>> c.shape
(2, 2, 3)
>>> c[1,...] # same as c[1,:,:] or c[1]
array([[100, 101, 102],
[110, 112, 113]])
>>> c[...,2] # same as c[:,:,2]
array([[ 2, 13],
[102, 113]])对多维数组进行迭代是针对第一个轴完成的：
>>> for row in b:
... print(row)
...
[0 1 2 3]
[10 11 12 13]
[20 21 22 23]
[30 31 32 33]
[40 41 42 43]但是，如果想要对数组中的每个元素执行操作，可以使用flat属性作为数组所有元素的迭代器：
>>> for element in b.flat:
... print(element)
...
0
1
2
3
10
11
12
13
20
21
22
23
30
31
32
33
40
41
42
43数组的形状由沿每个轴的元素数量给出：
>>> a = np.floor(10*np.random.random((3,4)))
>>> a
array([[ 2., 8., 0., 6.],
[ 4., 5., 1., 1.],
[ 8., 9., 3., 6.]])
>>> a.shape
(3, 4)可以使用各种命令更改阵列的形状。 请注意，以下三个命令都返回已修改的数组，但不更改原始数组：
>>> a.ravel() # returns the array, flattened
array([ 2., 8., 0., 6., 4., 5., 1., 1., 8., 9., 3., 6.])
>>> a.reshape(6,2) # returns the array with a modified shape
array([[ 2., 8.],
[ 0., 6.],
[ 4., 5.],
[ 1., 1.],
[ 8., 9.],
[ 3., 6.]])
>>> a.T # returns the array, transposed
array([[ 2., 4., 8.],
[ 8., 5., 9.],
[ 0., 1., 3.],
[ 6., 1., 6.]])
>>> a.T.shape
(4, 3)
>>> a.shape
(3, 4)reshape函数返回其参数的修改形状，而ndarray.resize方法修改数组本身：
>>> a
array([[ 2., 8., 0., 6.],
[ 4., 5., 1., 1.],
[ 8., 9., 3., 6.]])
>>> a.resize((2,6))
>>> a
array([[ 2., 8., 0., 6., 4., 5.],
[ 1., 1., 8., 9., 3., 6.]])如果在重新整形操作中将尺寸指定为-1，则会自动计算其他尺寸：
>>> a.reshape(3,-1)
array([[ 2., 8., 0., 6.],
[ 4., 5., 1., 1.],
[ 8., 9., 3., 6.]])几个阵列可以沿不同的轴堆叠在一起：
>>> a = np.floor(10*np.random.random((2,2)))
>>> a
array([[ 8., 8.],
[ 0., 0.]])
>>> b = np.floor(10*np.random.random((2,2)))
>>> b
array([[ 1., 8.],
[ 0., 4.]])
>>> np.vstack((a,b))
array([[ 8., 8.],
[ 0., 0.],
[ 1., 8.],
[ 0., 4.]])
>>> np.hstack((a,b))
array([[ 8., 8., 1., 8.],
[ 0., 0., 0., 4.]])函数column_stack将1D数组作为列堆叠到2D数组中。 它相当于仅针对2D数组的hstack：
>>> from numpy import newaxis
>>> np.column_stack((a,b)) # with 2D arrays
array([[ 8., 8., 1., 8.],
[ 0., 0., 0., 4.]])
>>> a = np.array([4.,2.])
>>> b = np.array([3.,8.])
>>> np.column_stack((a,b)) # returns a 2D array
array([[ 4., 3.],
[ 2., 8.]])
>>> np.hstack((a,b)) # the result is different
array([ 4., 2., 3., 8.])
>>> a[:,newaxis] # this allows to have a 2D columns vector
array([[ 4.],
[ 2.]])
>>> np.column_stack((a[:,newaxis],b[:,newaxis]))
array([[ 4., 3.],
[ 2., 8.]])
>>> np.hstack((a[:,newaxis],b[:,newaxis])) # the result is the same
array([[ 4., 3.],
[ 2., 8.]])在复杂情况下，r_和c_对于通过沿一个轴堆叠数字来创建数组非常有用。 它们允许使用范围文字（“：”）
>>> np.r_[1:4,0,4]
array([1, 2, 3, 0, 4])使用hsplit，您可以沿着水平轴分割数组，方法是指定要返回的同样形状的数组的数量，或者通过指定应该进行除法的列：
>>> a = np.floor(10*np.random.random((2,12)))
>>> a
array([[ 9., 5., 6., 3., 6., 8., 0., 7., 9., 7., 2., 7.],
[ 1., 4., 9., 2., 2., 1., 0., 6., 2., 2., 4., 0.]])
>>> np.hsplit(a,3) # Split a into 3
[array([[ 9., 5., 6., 3.],
[ 1., 4., 9., 2.]]), array([[ 6., 8., 0., 7.],
[ 2., 1., 0., 6.]]), array([[ 9., 7., 2., 7.],
[ 2., 2., 4., 0.]])]
>>> np.hsplit(a,(3,4)) # Split a after the third and the fourth column
[array([[ 9., 5., 6.],
[ 1., 4., 9.]]), array([[ 3.],
[ 2.]]), array([[ 6., 8., 0., 7., 9., 7., 2., 7.],
[ 2., 1., 0., 6., 2., 2., 4., 0.]])]简单分配不会复制数组对象或其数据。
>>> a = np.arange(12)
>>> b = a # no new object is created
>>> b is a # a and b are two names for the same ndarray object
True
>>> b.shape = 3,4 # changes the shape of a
>>> a.shape
(3, 4)Python将可变对象作为引用传递，因此函数调用不会复制。
>>> def f(x):
... print(id(x))
...
>>> id(a) # id is a unique identifier of an object
148293216
>>> f(a)
148293216不同的数组对象可以共享相同的数据。 view方法创建一个查看相同数据的新数组对象。
>>> c = a.view()
>>> c is a
False
>>> c.base is a # c is a view of the data owned by a
True
>>> c.flags.owndata
False
>>>
>>> c.shape = 2,6 # a's shape doesn't change
>>> a.shape
(3, 4)
>>> c[0,4] = 1234 # a's data changes
>>> a
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[1234, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11]])切片数组会返回一个视图：
>>> s = a[ : , 1:3] # spaces added for clarity; could also be written "s = a[:,1:3]"
>>> s[:] = 10 # s[:] is a view of s. Note the difference between s=10 and s[:]=10
>>> a
array([[ 0, 10, 10, 3],
[1234, 10, 10, 7],
[ 8, 10, 10, 11]])复制方法生成数组及其数据的完整副本。深复制
>>> d = a.copy() # a new array object with new data is created
>>> d is a
False
>>> d.base is a # d doesn't share anything with a
False
>>> d[0,0] = 9999
>>> a
array([[ 0, 10, 10, 3],
[1234, 10, 10, 7],
[ 8, 10, 10, 11]])NumPy提供比常规Python序列更多的索引功能。 除了通过整数和切片进行索引之外，正如我们之前看到的，数组可以由整数数组和布尔数组索引。
>>> a = np.arange(12)**2 # the first 12 square numbers
>>> i = np.array( [ 1,1,3,8,5 ] ) # an array of indices
>>> a[i] # the elements of a at the positions i
array([ 1, 1, 9, 64, 25])
>>>
>>> j = np.array( [ [ 3, 4], [ 9, 7 ] ] ) # a bidimensional array of indices
>>> a[j] # the same shape as j
array([[ 9, 16],
[81, 49]])当索引数组a是多维的时，单个索引数组指的是a的第一个维度。 以下示例通过使用调色板将标签图像转换为彩色图像来显示此行为。
>>> palette = np.array( [ [0,0,0], # black
... [255,0,0], # red
... [0,255,0], # green
... [0,0,255], # blue
... [255,255,255] ] ) # white
>>> image = np.array( [ [ 0, 1, 2, 0 ], # each value corresponds to a color in the palette
... [ 0, 3, 4, 0 ] ] )
>>> palette[image] # the (2,4,3) color image
array([[[ 0, 0, 0],
[255, 0, 0],
[ 0, 255, 0],
[ 0, 0, 0]],
[[ 0, 0, 0],
[ 0, 0, 255],
[255, 255, 255],
[ 0, 0, 0]]])我们还可以为多个维度提供索引。 每个维度的索引数组必须具有相同的形状。
>>> a = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4)
>>> a
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11]])
>>> i = np.array( [ [0,1], # indices for the first dim of a
... [1,2] ] )
>>> j = np.array( [ [2,1], # indices for the second dim
... [3,3] ] )
>>>
>>> a[i,j] # i and j must have equal shape
array([[ 2, 5],
[ 7, 11]])
>>>
>>> a[i,2]
array([[ 2, 6],
[ 6, 10]])
>>>
>>> a[:,j] # i.e., a[ : , j]
array([[[ 2, 1],
[ 3, 3]],
[[ 6, 5],
[ 7, 7]],
[[10, 9],
[11, 11]]])
>>> l = [i,j]
>>> a[l] # equivalent to a[i,j]
array([[ 2, 5],
[ 7, 11]])但是，我们不能通过将i和j放入数组来实现这一点，因为这个数组将被解释为索引a的第一个维度。
>>> s = np.array( [i,j] )
>>> a[s] # not what we want
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
IndexError: index (3) out of range (0<=index<=2) in dimension 0
>>>
>>> a[tuple(s)] # same as a[i,j]
array([[ 2, 5],
[ 7, 11]])使用数组索引的另一个常见用途是搜索与时间相关的系列的最大值：
>>> time = np.linspace(20, 145, 5) # time scale
>>> data = np.sin(np.arange(20)).reshape(5,4) # 4 time-dependent series
>>> time
array([ 20. , 51.25, 82.5 , 113.75, 145. ])
>>> data
array([[ 0. , 0.84147098, 0.90929743, 0.14112001],
[-0.7568025 , -0.95892427, -0.2794155 , 0.6569866 ],
[ 0.98935825, 0.41211849, -0.54402111, -0.99999021],
[-0.53657292, 0.42016704, 0.99060736, 0.65028784],
[-0.28790332, -0.96139749, -0.75098725, 0.14987721]])
>>>
>>> ind = data.argmax(axis=0) # index of the maxima for each series
>>> ind
array([2, 0, 3, 1])
>>>
>>> time_max = time[ind] # times corresponding to the maxima
>>>
>>> data_max = data[ind, range(data.shape[1])] # => data[ind[0],0], data[ind[1],1]...
>>>
>>> time_max
array([ 82.5 , 20. , 113.75, 51.25])
>>> data_max
array([ 0.98935825, 0.84147098, 0.99060736, 0.6569866 ])
>>>
>>> np.all(data_max == data.max(axis=0))
True还可以使用数组索引作为分配给的目标：
>>> a = np.arange(5)
>>> a
array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> a[[1,3,4]] = 0
>>> a
array([0, 0, 2, 0, 0])但是，当索引列表包含重复时，分配会多次完成，留下最后一个值：
>>> a = np.arange(5)
>>> a[[0,0,2]]=[1,2,3]
>>> a
array([2, 1, 3, 3, 4])这是合理的，但请注意是否要使用Python的+ =构造，因为它可能无法达到预期效果：
>>> a = np.arange(5)
>>> a[[0,0,2]]+=1
>>> a
array([1, 1, 3, 3, 4])人们可以想到的最自然的布尔索引方法是使用与原始数组具有相同形状的布尔数组：
>>> a = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4)
>>> b = a > 4
>>> b # b is a boolean with a's shape
array([[False, False, False, False],
[False, True, True, True],
[ True, True, True, True]])
>>> a[b] # 1d array with the selected elements
array([ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11])此属性在分配中非常有用：
>>> a[b] = 0 # All elements of 'a' higher than 4 become 0
>>> a
array([[0, 1, 2, 3],
[4, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0]])您可以查看以下示例，了解如何使用布尔索引生成Mandelbrot集的图像：
>>> import numpy as np
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> def mandelbrot( h,w, maxit=20 ):
... """Returns an image of the Mandelbrot fractal of size (h,w)."""
... y,x = np.ogrid[ -1.4:1.4:h*1j, -2:0.8:w*1j ]
... c = x+y*1j
... z = c
... divtime = maxit + np.zeros(z.shape, dtype=int)
...
... for i in range(maxit):
... z = z**2 + c
... diverge = z*np.conj(z) > 2**2 # who is diverging
... div_now = diverge & (divtime==maxit) # who is diverging now
... divtime[div_now] = i # note when
... z[diverge] = 2 # avoid diverging too much
...
... return divtime
>>> plt.imshow(mandelbrot(400,400))
>>> plt.show()ix_函数可用于组合不同的向量，以便获得每个n-uplet的结果。 例如，如果要计算从每个向量a，b和c中取得的所有三元组的所有a + b * c：
>>> a = np.array([2,3,4,5])
>>> b = np.array([8,5,4])
>>> c = np.array([5,4,6,8,3])
>>> ax,bx,cx = np.ix_(a,b,c)
>>> ax
array([[[2]],
[[3]],
[[4]],
[[5]]])
>>> bx
array([[[8],
[5],
[4]]])
>>> cx
array([[[5, 4, 6, 8, 3]]])
>>> ax.shape, bx.shape, cx.shape
((4, 1, 1), (1, 3, 1), (1, 1, 5))
>>> result = ax+bx*cx
>>> result
array([[[42, 34, 50, 66, 26],
[27, 22, 32, 42, 17],
[22, 18, 26, 34, 14]],
[[43, 35, 51, 67, 27],
[28, 23, 33, 43, 18],
[23, 19, 27, 35, 15]],
[[44, 36, 52, 68, 28],
[29, 24, 34, 44, 19],
[24, 20, 28, 36, 16]],
[[45, 37, 53, 69, 29],
[30, 25, 35, 45, 20],
[25, 21, 29, 37, 17]]])
>>> result[3,2,4]
17
>>> a[3]+b[2]*c[4]
17您还可以按如下方式实现reduce：
>>> def ufunc_reduce(ufct, *vectors):
... vs = np.ix_(*vectors)
... r = ufct.identity
... for v in vs:
... r = ufct(r,v)
... return r要更改数组的尺寸，您可以省略其中一个尺寸，然后自动推导出尺寸：
>>> a = np.arange(30)
>>> a.shape = 2,-1,3 # -1 means "whatever is needed"
>>> a.shape
(2, 5, 3)
>>> a
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],
[27, 28, 29]]])应用于数组的NumPy直方图函数返回一对向量：数组的直方图和区域向量。 注意：matplotlib还具有构建直方图的功能（称为hist，如在Matlab中），与NumPy中的不同。 主要区别在于pylab.hist自动绘制直方图，而numpy.histogram只生成数据。
>>> import numpy as np
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> # Build a vector of 10000 normal deviates with variance 0.5^2 and mean 2
>>> mu, sigma = 2, 0.5
>>> v = np.random.normal(mu,sigma,10000)
>>> # Plot a normalized histogram with 50 bins
>>> plt.hist(v, bins=50, density=1) # matplotlib version (plot)
>>> plt.show()
