np.frombuffer()

numpy.frombuffer

numpy. frombuffer (buffer, dtype=float, count=-1, offset=0)

Interpret a buffer as a 1-dimensional array.

Parameters:	buffer  : buffer_like An object that exposes the buffer interface. dtype  : data-type, optional Data-type of the returned array; default: float. count  : int, optional Number of items to read. -1 means all data in the buffer. offset  : int, optional Start reading the buffer from this offset (in bytes); default: 0.

Notes

If the buffer has data that is not in machine byte-order, this should be specified as part of the data-type, e.g.:

>>>

>>> dt = np.dtype(int) >>> dt = dt.newbyteorder('>') >>> np.frombuffer(buf, dtype=dt) 

The data of the resulting array will not be byteswapped, but will be interpreted correctly.

Examples

>>>

>>> s = 'hello world'
>>> np.frombuffer(s, dtype='S1', count=5, offset=6) array(['w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'],  dtype=
