numpy.ma.default_fill_value#
- ma.default_fill_value(obj)[source]#
Return the default fill value for the argument object.
The default filling value depends on the datatype of the input array or the type of the input scalar:
datatype
default
bool
True
int
999999
float
1.e20
complex
1.e20+0j
object
‘?’
string
‘N/A’
For structured types, a structured scalar is returned, with each field the default fill value for its type.
For subarray types, the fill value is an array of the same size containing the default scalar fill value.
- Parameters
- objndarray, dtype or scalar
The array data-type or scalar for which the default fill value is returned.
- Returns
- fill_valuescalar
The default fill value.
Examples
>>> np.ma.default_fill_value(1) 999999 >>> np.ma.default_fill_value(np.array([1.1, 2., np.pi])) 1e+20 >>> np.ma.default_fill_value(np.dtype(complex)) (1e+20+0j)
