Cut an array along one or more axes.
| Usage | Returns | Array.cut(position) | Array |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: array | Array | The array to cut. |
position | List | Cut an array along one or more axes. The positions args specifies either a single value for each axis of the array, or -1, indicating the whole axis. The output will be an array that has the same dimensions as the input, with a length of 1 on each axis that was not -1 in the positions array. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
print(ee.Array([9]).cut([0])); // [9]
print(ee.Array([9]).cut([-1])); // [9]
var array1x3 = ee.Array([0, 1, 2]);
print(array1x3.cut([-1])); // [0,1,2]
print(array1x3.cut([0])); // [0]
print(array1x3.cut([2])); // [2]
var array2x3 = ee.Array([[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5]]);
print(array2x3.cut([-1, -1])); // [[0,1,2],[3,4,5]]
print(array2x3.cut([-1, 0])); // [[0],[3]]
print(array2x3.cut([1, -1])); // [[3,4,5]]
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
Colab (Python)
display(ee.Array([9]).cut([0])) # [9]
display(ee.Array([9]).cut([-1])) # [9]
array1x3 = ee.Array([0, 1, 2])
display(array1x3.cut([-1])) # [0, 1, 2]
display(array1x3.cut([0])) # [0]
display(array1x3.cut([2])) # [2]
array2x3 = ee.Array([[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5]])
display(array2x3.cut([-1, -1])) # [[0, 1, 2], [3 , 4, 5]]
display(array2x3.cut([-1, 0])) # [[0], [3]]
display(array2x3.cut([1, -1])) # [[3, 4, 5]]
