this question, I'm convinced that numpy ndarrays are not MATLAB/mathematical multidimentional matrices and I should stop expecting them to be. However I still think it would have a lot of benefit to have a function like sympy's pprint to pretty print. something like pandas .head and .tail method plus .left .right .UpLeft .UpRight .DownLeft .DownRight methods. when nothing mentioned it would show 4 corners and put dots in the middle if the array is to big for the terminal.
