matrix.newbyteorder()

matrix.newbyteorder(new_order='S')

Return the array with the same data viewed with a different byte order.

Equivalent to:

arr.view(arr.dtype.newbytorder(new_order))

Changes are also made in all fields and sub-arrays of the array data type.

Parameters:

new_order : string, optional

Byte order to force; a value from the byte order specifications below. new_order codes can be any of:

  • ?S? - swap dtype from current to opposite endian
  • {?<?, ?L?} - little endian
  • {?>?, ?B?} - big endian
  • {?=?, ?N?} - native order
  • {?|?, ?I?} - ignore (no change to byte order)

The default value (?S?) results in swapping the current byte order. The code does a case-insensitive check on the first letter of new_order for the alternatives above. For example, any of ?B? or ?b? or ?biggish? are valid to specify big-endian.

Returns:

new_arr : array

New array object with the dtype reflecting given change to the byte order.
