@stdlib/ndarray-base-transpose

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

transpose

Transpose a matrix (or a stack of matrices).

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-transpose

Usage

var transpose = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-transpose' );

transpose( x )

Transposes a matrix (or a stack of matrices) x.

var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );

var x = array( [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 4, 5, 6 ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var sh = x.shape;
// returns [ 2, 3 ]

var y = transpose( x );
// returns <ndarray>

sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 3, 2 ]

var bool = ( x.data === y.data );
// returns true

bool = ( x.get( 0, 1 ) === y.get( 1, 0 ) );
// returns true

Notes

• The returned ndarray is a view of the input ndarray. Accordingly, writing to the original ndarray will mutate the returned ndarray and vice versa. While powerful, this can lead to subtle bugs. In general, one should handle the returned ndarray as read-only.
• If provided an ndarray with fewer than two dimensions, the function raises an exception.

Examples

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-ctor' );
var rpad = require( '@stdlib/string-right-pad' );
var transpose = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-transpose' );

function print( arr, name ) {
    var str;
    var sh;
    var p;
    var i;
    var j;
    var k;

    sh = arr.shape;
    for ( i = 0; i < sh[0]; i++ ) {
        str = name+'['+i+',:,:] = [ ';
        p = str.length + 1;
        for ( j = 0; j < sh[1]; j++ ) {
            if ( j > 0 ) {
                str += rpad( '\n', p, ' ' );
            }
            for ( k = 0; k < sh[2]; k++ ) {
                str += arr.get( i, j, k );
                if ( k < sh[2]-1 ) {
                    str += ', ';
                }
            }
        }
        console.log( str + ' ]\n' );
    }
}

// Create a data buffer:
var buf = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );

// Create a stack of matrices:
var x = new ndarray( 'float64', buf, [ 2, 2, 3 ], [ 0, 3, 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

// Transpose the stack of matrices:
var y = transpose( x );

// Print the stacks:
console.log( '' );
print( x, 'X' );
console.log( '' );
print( y, 'Y' );
