numpy.matrix.tostring¶
- matrix.tostring(order='C')¶
Construct Python bytes containing the raw data bytes in the array.
Constructs Python bytes showing a copy of the raw contents of data memory. The bytes object can be produced in either ‘C’ or ‘Fortran’, or ‘Any’ order (the default is ‘C’-order). ‘Any’ order means C-order unless the F_CONTIGUOUS flag in the array is set, in which case it means ‘Fortran’ order.
This function is a compatibility alias for tobytes. Despite its name it returns bytes not strings.
Parameters: order : {‘C’, ‘F’, None}, optional
Order of the data for multidimensional arrays: C, Fortran, or the same as for the original array.
Returns: s : bytes
Python bytes exhibiting a copy of a‘s raw data.
Examples
>>> x = np.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]]) >>> x.tobytes() b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00' >>> x.tobytes('C') == x.tobytes() True >>> x.tobytes('F') b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00'
