# numpy.ma.masked_array.transpose

method

ma.masked_array.transpose(*axes)

  Returns a view of the array with axes transposed.

  For a 1-D array this has no effect, as a transposed vector is simply the same vector. To convert a 1-D array into a 2D column vector, an additional dimension must be added. np.atleast2d(a).T achieves this, as does a[:, np.newaxis]. For a 2-D array, this is a standard matrix transpose. For an n-D array, if axes are given, their order indicates how the axes are permuted (see Examples). If axes are not provided and `a.shape = (i[0], i[1], ... i[n-2], i[n-1])`, then `a.transpose().shape = (i[n-1], i[n-2], ... i[1], i[0])`.

  Parameters
    axes None, tuple of ints, or n ints

      - None or no argument: reverses the order of the axes.

      - tuple of ints: i in the j-th place in the tuple means a’s i-th axis becomes a.transpose()’s j-th axis.

      - n ints: same as an n-tuple of the same ints (this form is intended simply as a “convenience” alternative to the tuple form)

  Returns
    out ndarray

      View of a, with axes suitably permuted.

  Examples

      >>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
      >>> a
      array([[1, 2],
             [3, 4]])
      >>> a.transpose()
      array([[1, 3],
             [2, 4]])
      >>> a.transpose((1, 0))
      array([[1, 3],
             [2, 4]])
      >>> a.transpose(1, 0)
      array([[1, 3],
             [2, 4]])
