[FIXED] Create 2 dimensional array with 2 one dimensional array

Issue

My function (name CovexHull(point)) accepts argument as 2 dimensional array.

hull = ConvexHull(points)

In [1]: points.ndim
Out[1]: 2
In [2]: points.shape
Out[2]: (10, 2)
In [3]: points
Out[3]: 
array([[ 0. ,  0. ],
       [ 1. ,  0.8],
       [ 0.9,  0.8],
       [ 0.9,  0.7],
       [ 0.9,  0.6],
       [ 0.8,  0.5],
       [ 0.8,  0.5],
       [ 0.7,  0.5],
       [ 0.1,  0. ],
       [ 0. ,  0. ]])

points is a numpy array with ndim 2.

I have 2 different numpy arrays (tp and fp) like below

In [4]: fp.ndim
Out[4]: 1
In [5]: fp.shape
Out[5]: (10,)
In [6]: fp
Out[6]: 
array([ 0. ,  0.1,  0.2,  0.3,  0.4,  0.4,
        0.5, 0.6,  0.9,  1. ])

I want to know how can I create a 2 dimensional numpy array effectively (like points mentioned above) with tp and fp.

Solution

If you wish to combine two 10 element 1-d arrays into a 2-d array np.vstack((tp, fp)).T will do it. np.vstack((tp, fp)) will return an array of shape (2, 10), and the T attribute returns the transposed array with shape (10, 2) (i.e. with the two 1-d arrays forming columns rather than rows).

>>> tp = np.array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> tp.ndim
1
>>> tp.shape
(10,)

>>> fp = np.array([10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19])
>>> fp.ndim
1
>>> fp.shape
(10,)

>>> combined = np.vstack((tp, fp)).T
>>> combined
array([[ 0, 10],
       [ 1, 11],
       [ 2, 12],
       [ 3, 13],
       [ 4, 14],
       [ 5, 15],
       [ 6, 16],
       [ 7, 17],
       [ 8, 18],
       [ 9, 19]])

>>> combined.ndim
2
>>> combined.shape
(10, 2)
