`numpy:atleast_2d`

Signature

def atleast_2d ( * arys )

View inputs as arrays with at least two dimensions.

arys1, arys2, ... : array_like: One or more array-like sequences. Non-array inputs are converted to arrays. Arrays that already have two or more dimensions are preserved.

res, res2, ... : ndarray: An array, or tuple of arrays, each with a.ndim >= 2. Copies are avoided where possible, and views with two or more dimensions are returned.
