retndarray

An array, or list of arrays, each with a.ndim >= 1. Copies are made only if necessary.

Examples

>>> np.atleast_1d(1.0)
array([1.])

>>> x = np.arange(9.0).reshape(3,3)
>>> np.atleast_1d(x)
array([[0., 1., 2.],
       [3., 4., 5.],
       [6., 7., 8.]])
>>> np.atleast_1d(x) is x
True

>>> np.atleast_1d(1, [3, 4])
[array([1]), array([3, 4])]
