Python - numpy 2D array too long and prints weird?

Question

When I want to print a 2D array (shape of a square) to see it in my python panel, the format of the array appears to show up weird. It seems that 19 elements won't make a square shape, and puts that last element onto the next line. When I try with 18 elements, it's fine. I'm not sure if this is a numpy issue or my platform (I use Enthought Canopy). Is there anything I could do to have all 19 elements in one line when I print it out?

import numpy

a = numpy.zeros(361)
b = a.reshape(19,19)
print b

Output:

Well, the funny thing is that the window is maximized and half of the panel is just empty space that's available. I'm not sure why this happens. — user3128178

Tested it on my own machine. It's not a window width issue; the strings NumPy generates just have line breaks at those positions. — user2357112

Perhaps something in docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/… will help? — alecbz

Thanks everyone! I just didn't know what to search exactly on google. — user3128178

You can change the default line-wrapping width with np.set_printoptions. The default is 75.

numpy.set_printoptions(linewidth=200)
