# numpy.ma.masked_array.soften_mask

method

ma.masked_array.soften_mask()

  Force the mask to soft (default), allowing unmasking by assignment.

  Whether the mask of a masked array is hard or soft is determined by its `hardmask` property. `soften_mask` sets `hardmask` to `False` (and returns the modified self).
