Return a view of the MaskedArray data in Numpy
To return a view of the MaskedArray data in Numpy, use the ma.MaskedArray.view() method.
The a.view() is used two different ways
a.view(some_dtype) or a.view(dtype=some_dtype) constructs a view of the array’s memory with a different data-type. This can cause a reinterpretation of the bytes of memory.
a.view(ndarray_subclass) or a.view(type=ndarray_subclass) just returns an instance of ndarray_subclass that looks at the same array. This does not cause a reinterpretation of the memory.
Steps
At first, import the required library −
import numpy as np import numpy.ma as ma
Create an array with int elements using the numpy.array() method −
arr = np.array([[35, 85], [67, 33]]) print("Array...
", arr) print("
Array type...
", arr.dtype)
Get the dimensions of the Array −
print("Array Dimensions...
",arr.ndim)
Create a masked array and mask some of them as invalid −
maskArr = ma.masked_array(arr, mask =[[0, 1], [ 0, 1]]) print("
Our Masked Array
", maskArr) print("
Our Masked Array type...
", maskArr.dtype)
Get the itemsize of the Masked Array −
print("
Our Masked Array itemsize...
", maskArr.itemsize)
Get the dimensions of the Masked Array −
print("
Our Masked Array Dimensions...
",maskArr.ndim)
Get the shape of the Masked Array −
print("
Our Masked Array Shape...
",maskArr.shape)
Copying −
resArr = maskArr.copy()
Return a view of the MaskedArray data in Numpy, use the ma.MaskedArray.view() method −
print("
View...
",resArr.view())
