How do I make a matrix that consists of elements that are lists? For example
t = np.zeros(((N+1),(N+1)))
for row in range (N+1):
for column in range (N+1):
position = [row,column]
t[row,column] = position
But this gives an error saying "setting an array element with a sequence."
I want the code to create something like
[[[0,0],[0,1],[0,2]],
[[1,0],[1,1],[1,2]],
[[2,0],[2,1],[2,2]]]
Your data is 3-dimensional, so your array is missing its last dimension:
t = np.zeros(((N+1),(N+1),2))
# for loops...
And why not use numpy.indices()
? This task is what it's for:
t = numpy.indices((N+1, N+1))[::-1, :].T
# array([[[0, 0],
# [0, 1],
# [0, 2]],
#
# [[1, 0],
# [1, 1],
# [1, 2]],
#
# [[2, 0],
# [2, 1],
# [2, 2]]])
The advantage of using 3D data should be immediately clear, as you can easily index the list
dimension, too. Eg to print only the second value of all lists
t[..., 0]
# array([[0, 0, 0],
# [1, 1, 1],
# [2, 2, 2]])
or plotting your data:
plt.figure()
plt.imshow(t[..., 0]) # plot first value of lists
plt.figure()
plt.imshow(t[..., 1]) # plot second value of lists
plt.show()
or any other method of processing your data:
numpy.sum(t, axis=1)
# array([[0, 3],
# [3, 3],
# [6, 3]])
or
t / numpy.max(t)
# array([[[ 0. , 0. ],
# [ 0. , 0.5],
# [ 0. , 1. ]],
#
# [[ 0.5, 0. ],
# [ 0.5, 0.5],
# [ 0.5, 1. ]],
#
# [[ 1. , 0. ],
# [ 1. , 0.5],
# [ 1. , 1. ]]])
those are things you obviously cannot do if your array is a 2D array of list
s.
You need to have the dtype of the elements in ndarray as object:
a = np.zeros([N+1, N+1], dtype=object)
a[0][0] = [1, 2, 3]
