scipy.sparse.hstack(blocks, format=None, dtype=None)

Stack sparse matrices horizontally (column wise)

Parameters :

blocks :

sequence of sparse matrices with compatible shapes

format : string

sparse format of the result (e.g. “csr”) by default an appropriate sparse matrix format is returned. This choice is subject to change.

stack sparse matrices vertically (row wise)

Examples

>>> from scipy.sparse import coo_matrix, vstack
>>> A = coo_matrix([[1,2],[3,4]])
>>> B = coo_matrix([[5],[6]])
>>> hstack( [A,B] ).todense()
matrix([[1, 2, 5],
        [3, 4, 6]])
