numpy.ma.asanyarray¶

numpy.ma.asanyarray(a,dtype=None)[source]¶

Convert the input to a masked array, conserving subclasses.

Ifa is a subclass ofMaskedArray, its class is conserved.No copy is performed if the input is already anndarray.

Parameters:	a:array_like Input data, in any form that can be converted to an array. dtype:dtype, optional By default, the data-type is inferred from the input data. order:{‘C’, ‘F’}, optional Whether to use row-major (‘C’) or column-major (‘FORTRAN’) memoryrepresentation. Default is ‘C’.
Returns:	out:MaskedArray MaskedArray interpretation ofa.

Similar toasanyarray, but does not conserve subclass.
