numpy.ma.MaskedArray.flatten

MaskedArray.flatten(order='C')

Return a copy of the array collapsed into one dimension.

Parameters:

order : {‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘K’}, optional

‘C’ means to flatten in row-major (C-style) order. ‘F’ means to flatten in column-major (Fortran- style) order. ‘A’ means to flatten in column-major order if a is Fortran contiguous in memory, row-major order otherwise. ‘K’ means to flatten a in the order the elements occur in memory. The default is ‘C’.

Returns:

y : ndarray

A copy of the input array, flattened to one dimension.

A 1-D flat iterator over the array.

Examples

>>>

>>> a = np.array([[1,2], [3,4]])
>>> a.flatten()
array([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> a.flatten('F')
array([1, 3, 2, 4])
