geoana.spatial.repeat_scalar

geoana.spatial.repeat_scalar(scalar, dim=3)

Stack spatially distributed scalar values to simplify multiplication with a vector.

Where the input argument scalar defines a set of n spatially distributed scalar values, repeat_scalar repeats and stacks the input array to produce an (n, dim) array which is better for multiplying the scalar values with vector arrays.

Parameters:

scalar(n) numpy.ndarray

The set of scalar values

dimint, optional

The dimension. Default=3

Returns:

(n, dim) numpy.ndarray

The repeated and stacked set of scalar values
