property

property ma.masked_array.data

  Returns the underlying data, as a view of the masked array.

  If the underlying data is a subclass of `numpy.ndarray`, it is returned as such.

      >>> x = np.ma.array(np.matrix([[1, 2], [3, 4]]), mask=[[0, 1], [1, 0]])
      >>> x.data
      matrix([[1, 2],
              [3, 4]])

  The type of the data can be accessed through the `baseclass` attribute.
