numpy.array2string   numpy.array2string(a, max_line_width=None, precision=None, suppress_small=None, separator=' ', prefix='', style=<no value>, formatter=None, threshold=None, edgeitems=None, sign=None, floatmode=None, suffix='', *, legacy=None)[source]
 
Return a string representation of an array.  Parameters 
 
andarray


Input array.  
max_line_widthint, optional


Inserts newlines if text is longer than max_line_width. Defaults to numpy.get_printoptions()['linewidth'].  
precisionint or None, optional


Floating point precision. Defaults to numpy.get_printoptions()['precision'].  
suppress_smallbool, optional


Represent numbers “very close” to zero as zero; default is False. Very close is defined by precision: if the precision is 8, e.g., numbers smaller (in absolute value) than 5e-9 are represented as zero. Defaults to numpy.get_printoptions()['suppress'].  
separatorstr, optional


Inserted between elements.  
prefixstr, optional


suffixstr, optional


The length of the prefix and suffix strings are used to respectively align and wrap the output. An array is typically printed as: prefix + array2string(a) + suffix
 The output is left-padded by the length of the prefix string, and wrapping is forced at the column max_line_width - len(suffix). It should be noted that the content of prefix and suffix strings are not included in the output.  
style_NoValue, optional


Has no effect, do not use.  Deprecated since version 1.14.0.   
formatterdict of callables, optional


If not None, the keys should indicate the type(s) that the respective formatting function applies to. Callables should return a string. Types that are not specified (by their corresponding keys) are handled by the default formatters. Individual types for which a formatter can be set are:  ‘bool’ ‘int’ ‘timedelta’ : a numpy.timedelta64
 ‘datetime’ : a numpy.datetime64
 ‘float’ ‘longfloat’ : 128-bit floats ‘complexfloat’ ‘longcomplexfloat’ : composed of two 128-bit floats ‘void’ : type numpy.void
 ‘numpystr’ : types numpy.string_ and numpy.unicode_
  Other keys that can be used to set a group of types at once are:  ‘all’ : sets all types ‘int_kind’ : sets ‘int’ ‘float_kind’ : sets ‘float’ and ‘longfloat’ ‘complex_kind’ : sets ‘complexfloat’ and ‘longcomplexfloat’ ‘str_kind’ : sets ‘numpystr’   
thresholdint, optional


Total number of array elements which trigger summarization rather than full repr. Defaults to numpy.get_printoptions()['threshold'].  
edgeitemsint, optional


Number of array items in summary at beginning and end of each dimension. Defaults to numpy.get_printoptions()['edgeitems'].  
signstring, either ‘-’, ‘+’, or ‘ ‘, optional


Controls printing of the sign of floating-point types. If ‘+’, always print the sign of positive values. If ‘ ‘, always prints a space (whitespace character) in the sign position of positive values. If ‘-’, omit the sign character of positive values. Defaults to numpy.get_printoptions()['sign'].  
floatmodestr, optional


Controls the interpretation of the precision option for floating-point types. Defaults to numpy.get_printoptions()['floatmode']. Can take the following values:  ‘fixed’: Always print exactly precision fractional digits, even if this would print more or fewer digits than necessary to specify the value uniquely. ‘unique’: Print the minimum number of fractional digits necessary to represent each value uniquely. Different elements may have a different number of digits. The value of the precision option is ignored. ‘maxprec’: Print at most precision fractional digits, but if an element can be uniquely represented with fewer digits only print it with that many. ‘maxprec_equal’: Print at most precision fractional digits, but if every element in the array can be uniquely represented with an equal number of fewer digits, use that many digits for all elements.   
legacystring or False, optional


If set to the string ‘1.13’ enables 1.13 legacy printing mode. This approximates numpy 1.13 print output by including a space in the sign position of floats and different behavior for 0d arrays. If set to False, disables legacy mode. Unrecognized strings will be ignored with a warning for forward compatibility.  New in version 1.14.0.     Returns 
 
array_strstr


String representation of the array.    Raises 
 TypeError

if a callable in formatter does not return a string.      See also  
array_str, array_repr, set_printoptions, get_printoptions

  Notes If a formatter is specified for a certain type, the precision keyword is ignored for that type. This is a very flexible function; array_repr and array_str are using array2string internally so keywords with the same name should work identically in all three functions. Examples >>> x = np.array([1e-16,1,2,3])
>>> np.array2string(x, precision=2, separator=',',
...                       suppress_small=True)
'[0.,1.,2.,3.]'
 >>> x  = np.arange(3.)
>>> np.array2string(x, formatter={'float_kind':lambda x: "%.2f" % x})
'[0.00 1.00 2.00]'
 >>> x  = np.arange(3)
>>> np.array2string(x, formatter={'int':lambda x: hex(x)})
'[0x0 0x1 0x2]'
