numpy.asfortranarray#
- numpy.asfortranarray(a, dtype=None, *, like=None)#
Return an array (ndim >= 1) laid out in Fortran order in memory.
- Parameters
- aarray_like
Input array.
- dtypestr or dtype object, optional
By default, the data-type is inferred from the input data.
- likearray_like, optional
Reference object to allow the creation of arrays which are not NumPy arrays. If an array-like passed in as
like
supports the__array_function__
protocol, the result will be defined by it. In this case, it ensures the creation of an array object compatible with that passed in via this argument.New in version 1.20.0.
- Returns
- outndarray
The input a in Fortran, or column-major, order.
See also
ascontiguousarray
Convert input to a contiguous (C order) array.
asanyarray
Convert input to an ndarray with either row or column-major memory order.
require
Return an ndarray that satisfies requirements.
ndarray.flags
Information about the memory layout of the array.
Examples
>>> x = np.arange(6).reshape(2,3) >>> y = np.asfortranarray(x) >>> x.flags['F_CONTIGUOUS'] False >>> y.flags['F_CONTIGUOUS'] True
Note: This function returns an array with at least one-dimension (1-d) so it will not preserve 0-d arrays.
