To expand on this, here is what I see when I create (M,N,3) matrices
in both octave and numpy. I expect to see an MxN matrix stacked 3
high:
octave
------
octave:1> zeros(2,2,3))
ans =
ans(:,:,1) =
0 0
0 0
ans(:,:,2) =
0 0
0 0
ans(:,:,3) =
0 0
0 0
numpy
-----
In [19]: zeros((2,3,3))
Out[19]:
array([[[0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0]],
[[0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0]]])
There is nothing wrong with numpy's array -- but the output generated
seems counter-intuitive.
