numpy.unwrap

numpy.unwrap(p, discont=3.141592653589793, axis=-1)[source]

Unwrap by changing deltas between values to 2*pi complement.

Unwrap radian phase p by changing absolute jumps greater than discont to their 2*pi complement along the given axis.

Parameters
parray_like

Input array.

discontfloat, optional

Maximum discontinuity between values, default is pi.

axisint, optional

Axis along which unwrap will operate, default is the last axis.

Returns
outndarray

Output array.

rad2deg, deg2rad

Notes

If the discontinuity in p is smaller than pi, but larger than discont, no unwrapping is done because taking the 2*pi complement would only make the discontinuity larger.

Examples

>>> phase = np.linspace(0, np.pi, num=5)
>>> phase[3:] += np.pi
>>> phase
array([ 0.        ,  0.78539816,  1.57079633,  5.49778714,  6.28318531]) # may vary
>>> np.unwrap(phase)
array([ 0.        ,  0.78539816,  1.57079633, -0.78539816,  0.        ]) # may vary
