numpy.ma.asanyarray¶

ma.asanyarray(a, dtype=None)[source]¶

Convert the input to a masked array, conserving subclasses.

If a is a subclass of MaskedArray, its class is conserved. No copy is performed if the input is already an ndarray.

Parameters

aarray_like: Input data, in any form that can be converted to an array.
dtypedtype, 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. Default is ‘C’.

Returns

outMaskedArray: MaskedArray interpretation of a.

See also

asarray: Similar to asanyarray, but does not conserve subclass.

Examples

>>> x = np.arange(10.).reshape(2, 5)
>>> x
array([[0., 1., 2., 3., 4.],
       [5., 6., 7., 8., 9.]])
>>> np.ma.asanyarray(x)
masked_array(
  data=[[0., 1., 2., 3., 4.],
        [5., 6., 7., 8., 9.]],
  mask=False,
  fill_value=1e+20)
>>> type(np.ma.asanyarray(x))
<class 'numpy.ma.core.MaskedArray'>
