numpy.ma.append

numpy.ma.append(a, b, axis=None) [source]

Append values to the end of an array.

New in version 1.9.0.

Parameters:	a : array_like Values are appended to a copy of this array. b : array_like These values are appended to a copy of a. It must be of the correct shape (the same shape as a, excluding axis). If axis is not specified, b can be any shape and will be flattened before use. axis : int, optional The axis along which v are appended. If axis is not given, both a and b are flattened before use.
Returns:	append : MaskedArray A copy of a with b appended to axis. Note that append does not occur in-place: a new array is allocated and filled. If axis is None, the result is a flattened array.
