numpy.ma.asarray¶
- numpy.ma.asarray(a, dtype=None, order=None)¶
Convert the input a to a masked array of the given datatype.
Parameters: a : array_like
Input data, in any form that can be converted to an array. This includes lists, lists of tuples, tuples, tuples of tuples, tuples of lists and ndarrays.
dtype : data-type, optional
By default, the data-type is inferred from the input data.
order : {‘C’, ‘F’}, optional
Whether to use row-major (‘C’) or column-major (‘FORTRAN’) memory representation. Defaults to ‘C’.
Returns: out : ndarray
MaskedArray interpretation of a. No copy is performed if the input is already an ndarray. If a is a subclass of MaskedArray, a base class MaskedArray is returned.
