numpy.ndarray.copy#
method
- ndarray.copy(order='C')#
Return a copy of the array.
- Parameters
- order{‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘K’}, optional
Controls the memory layout of the copy. ‘C’ means C-order, ‘F’ means F-order, ‘A’ means ‘F’ if a is Fortran contiguous, ‘C’ otherwise. ‘K’ means match the layout of a as closely as possible. (Note that this function and
numpy.copy
are very similar but have different default values for their order= arguments, and this function always passes sub-classes through.)

Notes
This function is the preferred method for creating an array copy. The function
numpy.copy
is similar, but it defaults to using order ‘K’, and will not pass sub-classes through by default.Examples
>>> x = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], order='F')
>>> y = x.copy()
>>> x.fill(0)
>>> x array([[0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]])
>>> y array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
>>> y.flags['C_CONTIGUOUS'] True
