# numpy.ma.harden_mask

ma.harden_mask(self) = <numpy.ma.core._frommethod object>

  Force the mask to hard, preventing unmasking by assignment.

  Whether the mask of a masked array is hard or soft is determined by its `hardmask` property. `harden_mask` sets `hardmask` to `True` (and returns the modified self).
