numpy get first 10 rows code example

Example 1: python how to copy a 2d array leaving out last column

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: H = np.meshgrid(np.arange(5), np.arange(5))[0]

In [3]: H
Out[3]: 
array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
       [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
       [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
       [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
       [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]])

In [4]: Hsub = H[1:-1,1:-1]

In [5]: Hsub
Out[5]: 
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [1, 2, 3],
       [1, 2, 3]])

Example 2: how to get the first few lines of an ndarray

In [11]: a[:,:2]
Out[11]: 
array([[-0.57098887, -0.4274751 ],
       [-0.22279713, -0.51723555],
       [ 0.67492385, -0.69294472],
