numpy.matrix.flatten¶

matrix.flatten(order='C')[source]¶

Return a flattened copy of the matrix.

AllN elements of the matrix are placed into a single row.

Parameters:	order : {‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘K’}, optional ‘C’ means to flatten in row-major (C-style) order. ‘F’ means toflatten in column-major (Fortran-style) order. ‘A’ means toflatten in column-major order ifm is Fortrancontiguous inmemory, row-major order otherwise. ‘K’ means to flattenm inthe order the elements occur in memory. The default is ‘C’.
Returns:	y : matrix A copy of the matrix, flattened to a(1, N) matrix whereNis the number of elements in the original matrix.
