Stack sparse matrices vertically (row 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.

Examples

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