numpy.ma.mask_rowcols

ma.mask_rowcols(a, axis=None)[source]

Mask rows and/or columns of a 2D array that contain masked values.

Mask whole rows and/or columns of a 2D array that contain masked values. The masking behavior is selected using the axis parameter.

• If axis is None, rows and columns are masked.
• If axis is 0, only rows are masked.
• If axis is 1 or -1, only columns are masked.

Parameters:

aarray_like, MaskedArray

The array to mask. If not a MaskedArray instance (or if no array elements are masked), the result is a MaskedArray with mask set to nomask (False). Must be a 2D array.

axisint, optional

Axis along which to perform the operation. If None, applies to a flattened version of the array.

Returns:

aMaskedArray

A modified version of the input array, masked depending on the value of the axis parameter.

Raises:

NotImplementedError

If input array a is not 2D.

masked_where

Notes

The input array’s mask is modified by this function.

>>> a[1, 1] = 1
>>> a
