ascontiguousarray(a, dtype=None, *, like=None)

Parameters

a : array_like

Input array.

dtype : str or dtype object, optional

Data-type of returned array.

like : array_like

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.

Returns

out : ndarray

Contiguous array of same shape and content as a, with type dtype if specified.

Return a contiguous array (ndim >= 1) in memory (C order).

See Also

asfortranarray

Convert input to an ndarray with column-major memory order.

ndarray.flags

Information about the memory layout of the array.

require

Return an ndarray that satisfies requirements.

Examples

>>> x = np.arange(6).reshape(2,3)
... np.ascontiguousarray(x, dtype=np.float32)
array([[0., 1., 2.],
       [3., 4., 5.]], dtype=float32)

>>> x.flags['C_CONTIGUOUS']
True

Note: This function returns an array with at least one-dimension (1-d) so it will not preserve 0-d arrays.

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
