Function make_mask_none

numpy/ma/core.py:1698–1746

Return a boolean mask of the given shape, filled with False. This function returns a boolean ndarray with all entries False, that can be used in common mask manipulations. If a complex dtype is specified, the type of each field is converted to a boolean type. Parameters --

(newshape, dtype=None)

    Return a boolean mask of the given shape, filled with False.

    This function returns a boolean ndarray with all entries False, that can
    be used in common mask manipulations. If a complex dtype is specified, the
    type of each field is converted to a boolean type.

    Parameters
    ----------
    newshape : tuple
        A tuple indicating the shape of the mask.
    dtype : {None, dtype}, optional
        If None, use a MaskType instance. Otherwise, use a new datatype with
        the same fields as `dtype`, converted to boolean types.

    Returns
    -------
    result : ndarray
        An ndarray of appropriate shape and dtype, filled with False.

    See Also
    --------
    make_mask : Create a boolean mask from an array.
    make_mask_descr : Construct a dtype description list from a given dtype.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> import numpy.ma as ma
    >>> ma.make_mask_none((3,))
    array([False, False, False])

    Defining a more complex dtype.

    dtype([('foo', '<f4'), ('bar', '<i8')])
    >>> ma.make_mask_none((3,), dtype=dtype)
