numpy.atleast_3d() in Python

Syntax : numpy.atleast_3d(*arrays) Parameters : arrays1, arrays2, ... : [array_like] One or more array-like sequences. Non-array inputs are converted to arrays. Arrays that already have three or more dimensions are preserved. Return : An array, or list of arrays, each with arr.ndim >= 3. Copies are avoided where possible, and views with three or more dimensions are returned. For example, a 1-D array of shape (N, ) becomes a view of shape (1, N, 1), and a 2-D array of shape (M, N) becomes a view of shape (M, N, 1).
