# numpy.moveaxis

`numpy.``moveaxis`(a, source, destination)

  Move axes of an array to new positions.

  Other axes remain in their original order.

  Parameters: | a : np.ndarray The array whose axes should be reordered. source : int or sequence of int Original positions of the axes to move. These must be unique. destination : int or sequence of int Destination positions for each of the original axes. These must also be unique.
  Returns: | result : np.ndarray Array with moved axes. This array is a view of the input array.

  `transpose`
    Permute the dimensions of an array.
  `swapaxes`
    Interchange two axes of an array.

  Examples

      >>> x = np.zeros((3, 4, 5))
      >>> np.moveaxis(x, 0, -1).shape
      (4, 5, 3)
      >>> np.moveaxis(x, -1, 0).shape
      (5, 3, 4)

  These all achieve the same result:

      >>> np.transpose(x).shape
      (5, 4, 3)
      >>> np.swapaxis(x, 0, -1).shape
      (5, 4, 3)
      >>> np.moveaxis(x, [0, 1], [-1, -2]).shape
      (5, 4, 3)
      >>> np.moveaxis(x, [0, 1, 2], [-1, -2, -3]).shape
      (5, 4, 3)
