clip
(a, a_min, a_max, out=None)[source]¶ Clip (limit) the values in an array.
Given an interval, values outside the interval are clipped to the interval edges. For example, if an interval of
[0, 1]
is specified, values smaller than 0 become 0, and values larger than 1 become 1.Parameters: a : array_like
Array containing elements to clip.
a_min : scalar or array_like or None
Minimum value. If None, clipping is not performed on lower interval edge. Not more than one of a_min and a_max may be None.
a_max : scalar or array_like or None
Maximum value. If None, clipping is not performed on upper interval edge. Not more than one of a_min and a_max may be None. If a_min or a_max are array_like, then the three arrays will be broadcasted to match their shapes.
out : ndarray, optional
The results will be placed in this array. It may be the input array for in-place clipping. out must be of the right shape to hold the output. Its type is preserved.
Returns: clipped_array : ndarray
An array with the elements of a, but where values < a_min are replaced with a_min, and those > a_max with a_max.

Examples
>>> a = np.arange(10) >>> np.clip(a, 1, 8) array([1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8]) >>> a array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]) >>> np.clip(a, 3, 6, out=a) array([3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6]) >>> a = np.arange(10) >>> a array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]) >>> np.clip(a, [3, 4, 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4], 8) array([3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8])
