# numpy.matlib.repmat

`numpy.matlib.``repmat`(a, m, n)

  Repeat a 0-D to 2-D array or matrix MxN times.

  Parameters : | a : array_like The array or matrix to be repeated. m, n : int The number of times a is repeated along the first and second axes.
  Returns : | out : ndarray The result of repeating a.

  Examples

      >>> import numpy.matlib
      >>> a0 = np.array(1)
      >>> np.matlib.repmat(a0, 2, 3)
      array([[1, 1, 1],
             [1, 1, 1]])

      >>> a1 = np.arange(4)
      >>> np.matlib.repmat(a1, 2, 2)
      array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3],
             [0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3]])

      >>> a2 = np.asmatrix(np.arange(6).reshape(2, 3))
      >>> np.matlib.repmat(a2, 2, 3)
      matrix([[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2],
              [3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5],
              [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2],
              [3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5]])
