[Numpy-discussion] the axis parameter in the np.ma.concatenate is not working?

[Chao YUE]

Thanks Josef, you're right.
Could you explain me what's the difference between

In [4]: a=np.arange(10)

In [5]: a.shape
Out[5]: (10,)


and


In [6]: a=np.arange(10).reshape(10,1)

In [7]: a.shape
Out[7]: (10, 1)

(10) means the first a is only a one-dimensional ndarray, but the (10,1)
means the second a is a two-dimensional ndarray?


another question, if I have

In [70]: f
Out[70]:
masked_array(data =
 [[0 0]
 [1 1]
 [2 2]
 [3 3]
 [-- 4]
 [5 5]
 [6 6]
 [7 --]
 [8 8]
 [9 9]],
             mask =
 [[False False]
 [False False]
 [False False]
 [False False]
 [ True False]
 [False False]
 [False False]
 [False  True]
 [False False]
 [False False]],
       fill_value = 999999)

but when I do

In [71]: f.data
Out[71]:
array([[0, 0],
       [1, 1],
       [2, 2],
       [3, 3],
       [4, 4],
       [5, 5],
       [6, 6],
       [7, 7],
       [8, 8],
       [9, 9]])

it still shows the original value, so what 's the usage of fill_value in
masked array? can I set a fill_value as np.nan?

Thanks,

Chao
