xorbits.numpy.asfortranarray#

xorbits.numpy.asfortranarray(a, dtype=None, *, like=None)[source]#

Return an array (ndim >= 1) laid out in Fortran order in memory.

Parameters

  • a (array_like) – Input array.

  • dtype (str or dtype object, optional) – By default, the data-type is inferred from the input data.

  • like (array_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

out – The input a in Fortran, or column-major, order.

Return type

ndarray

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.
