astropy 5.0

Parameters
_makep(array, descr_output, format, nrows=None)

The descriptor location will have a zero offset for all columns after this call. The final offset will be calculated when the file is written.

Parameters

array :

input object array

descr_output :

output "descriptor" array of data type int32 (for P format arrays) or int64 (for Q format arrays)--must be nrows long in its first dimension

format :

the _FormatP object representing the format of the variable array

nrows : int, optional

number of rows to create in the column; defaults to the number of rows in the input array

Construct the P (or Q) format column array, both the data descriptors and the data. It returns the output "data" array of data type :None:None:`dtype`.

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
