Function roll

numpy/core/numeric.py:1130–1233

Roll array elements along a given axis. Elements that roll beyond the last position are re-introduced at the first. Parameters ---------- a : array_like Input array. shift : int or tuple of ints The number of places by which elements are shifted. If a

(a, shift, axis=None)

@array_function_dispatch(_roll_dispatcher)
def roll(a, shift, axis=None):
    """
    Roll array elements along a given axis.

    Elements that roll beyond the last position are re-introduced at
    the first.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Input array.
    shift : int or tuple of ints
        The number of places by which elements are shifted.  If a tuple,
        then `axis` must be a tuple of the same size, and each of the
        given axes is shifted by the corresponding number.  If an int
        while `axis` is a tuple of ints, then the same value is used for
        all given axes.
    axis : int or tuple of ints, optional
        Axis or axes along which elements are shifted.  By default, the
        array is flattened before shifting, after which the original
        shape is restored.

    Returns
    -------
    res : ndarray
        Output array, with the same shape as `a`.

    --------
    rollaxis : Roll the specified axis backwards, until it lies in a
               given position.

    Notes
    -----
    .. versionadded:: 1.12.0

    Supports rolling over multiple dimensions simultaneously.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> x = np.arange(10)
    >>> np.roll(x, 2)
    array([8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
    >>> np.roll(x, -2)
    array([2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1])

    >>> x2 = np.reshape(x, (2, 5))
    >>> x2
    array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
           [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]])
    >>> np.roll(x2, 1)
    array([[9, 0, 1, 2, 3],
           [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]])
    >>> np.roll(x2, -1)
    array([[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
           [6, 7, 8, 9, 0]])
    >>> np.roll(x2, 1, axis=0)
    array([[5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
