# numpy.hsplit

`numpy.``hsplit`(ary, indices_or_sections)

  Split an array into multiple sub-arrays horizontally (column-wise).

  Please refer to the split documentation. hsplit is equivalent to split with `axis=1`, the array is always split along the second axis regardless of the array dimension.

  See also

  `split`
    Split an array into multiple sub-arrays of equal size.

  Examples

      >>> x = np.arange(16.0).reshape(4, 4)
      >>> x
      array([[  0.,   1.,   2.,   3.],
             [  4.,   5.,   6.,   7.],
             [  8.,   9.,  10.,  11.],
             [ 12.,  13.,  14.,  15.]])
      >>> np.hsplit(x, 2)
      [array([[  0.,   1.],
             [  4.,   5.],
             [  8.,   9.],
             [ 12.,  13.]]),
       array([[  2.,   3.],
             [  6.,   7.],
             [ 10.,  11.],
             [ 14.,  15.]])]
      >>> np.hsplit(x, np.array([3, 6]))
      [array([[  0.,   1.,   2.],
             [  4.,   5.,   6.],
             [  8.,   9.,  10.],
             [ 12.,  13.,  14.]]),
       array([[  3.],
             [  7.],
             [ 11.],
             [ 15.]]),
       array([], dtype=float64)]

  With a higher dimensional array the split is still along the second axis.

      >>> x = np.arange(8.0).reshape(2, 2, 2)
      >>> x
      array([[[ 0.,  1.],
              [ 2.,  3.]],
             [[ 4.,  5.],
              [ 6.,  7.]]])
      >>> np.hsplit(x, 2)
      [array([[[ 0.,  1.]],
             [[ 4.,  5.]]]),
       array([[[ 2.,  3.]],
             [[ 6.,  7.]]])]
