numpy.delete()

numpy.delete(arr, obj, axis=None) [source]

Return a new array with sub-arrays along an axis deleted. For a one dimensional array, this returns those entries not returned by arr[obj].

Parameters:

Parameters:	arr : array_like Input array. obj : slice, int or array of ints Indicate which sub-arrays to remove. axis : int, optional The axis along which to delete the subarray defined by `obj`. If `axis` is None, `obj` is applied to the flattened array.
Returns:	out : ndarray A copy of `arr` with the elements specified by `obj` removed. Note that `delete` does not occur in-place. If `axis` is None, `out` is a flattened array.

arr : array_like

Input array.

obj : slice, int or array of ints

Indicate which sub-arrays to remove.

axis : int, optional

The axis along which to delete the subarray defined by obj. If axis is None, obj is applied to the flattened array.

Returns:

out : ndarray

A copy of arr with the elements specified by obj removed. Note that delete does not occur in-place. If axis is None, out is a flattened array.

Notes

Often it is preferable to use a boolean mask. For example:

>>> mask = np.ones(len(arr), dtype=bool)
>>> mask[[0,2,4]] = False
>>> result = arr[mask,...]

Is equivalent to np.delete(arr, [0,2,4], axis=0), but allows further use of mask.

Examples

>>> arr = np.array([[1,2,3,4], [5,6,7,8], [9,10,11,12]])
>>> arr
array([[ 1,  2,  3,  4],
       [ 5,  6,  7,  8],
       [ 9, 10, 11, 12]])
>>> np.delete(arr, 1, 0)
array([[ 1,  2,  3,  4],
       [ 9, 10, 11, 12]])

>>> np.delete(arr, np.s_[::2], 1)
array([[ 2,  4],
       [ 6,  8],
       [10, 12]])
>>> np.delete(arr, [1,3,5], None)
array([ 1,  3,  5,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12])
