    Flat iterator object to iterate over arrays.

    A `flatiter` iterator is returned by ``x.flat`` for any array `x`.
    It allows iterating over the array as if it were a 1-D array,
    either in a for-loop or by calling its `next` method.

    Iteration is done in C-contiguous style, with the last index varying the
    fastest. The iterator can also be indexed using basic slicing or
    advanced indexing.

    --------
    ndarray.flat : Return a flat iterator over an array.
    ndarray.flatten : Returns a flattened copy of an array.

    Notes
    -----
    A `flatiter` iterator can not be constructed directly from Python code
    by calling the `flatiter` constructor.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> x = np.arange(6).reshape(2, 3)
    >>> fl = x.flat
    >>> type(fl)
    <type 'numpy.flatiter'>

    Efficient multi-dimensional iterator object to iterate over arrays.
    To get started using this object, see the
    :ref:`introductory guide to array iteration <arrays.nditer>`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    op : ndarray or sequence of array_like
        The array(s) to iterate over.
    flags : sequence of str, optional
        Flags to control the behavior of the iterator.

          * "buffered" enables buffering when required.
          * "c_index" causes a C-order index to be tracked.
          * "f_index" causes a Fortran-order index to be tracked.
          * "multi_index" causes a multi-index, or a tuple of indices
            with one per iteration dimension, to be tracked.
          * "common_dtype" causes all the operands to be converted to
            a common data type, with copying or buffering as necessary.
          * "delay_bufalloc" delays allocation of the buffers until
            a reset() call is made. Allows "allocate" operands to
            be initialized before their values are copied into the buffers.
          * "external_loop" causes the `values` given to be
            one-dimensional arrays with multiple values instead of
            zero-dimensional arrays.
          * "grow_inner" allows the `value` array sizes to be made
            larger than the buffer size when both "buffered" and
            "external_loop" is used.
          * "ranged" allows the iterator to be restricted to a sub-range
            of the iterindex values.
          * "refs_ok" enables iteration of reference types, such as
            object arrays.
          * "reduce_ok" enables iteration of "readwrite" operands
            which are broadcasted, also known as reduction operands.
          * "zerosize_ok" allows `itersize` to be zero.
    op_flags : list of list of str, optional
        This is a list of flags for each operand. At minimum, one of
        "readonly", "readwrite", or "writeonly" must be specified.

          * "readonly" indicates the operand will only be read from.
          * "readwrite" indicates the operand will be read from and written to.
          * "writeonly" indicates the operand will only be written to.
          * "no_broadcast" prevents the operand from being broadcasted.
          * "contig" forces the operand data to be contiguous.
          * "aligned" forces the operand data to be aligned.
          * "nbo" forces the operand data to be in native byte order.
          * "copy" allows a temporary read-only copy if required.
          * "updateifcopy" allows a temporary read-write copy if required.
          * "allocate" causes the array to be allocated if it is None
            in the `op` parameter.
          * "no_subtype" prevents an "allocate" operand from using a subtype.
          * "arraymask" indicates that this operand is the mask to use
            for selecting elements when writing to operands with the
            'writemasked' flag set. The iterator does not enforce this,
            but when writing from a buffer back to the array, it only
            copies those elements indicated by this mask.
          * 'writemasked' indicates that only elements where the chosen
            'arraymask' operand is True will be written to.
    op_dtypes : dtype or tuple of dtype(s), optional
        The required data type(s) of the operands. If copying or buffering
        is enabled, the data will be converted to/from their original types.
    order : {'C', 'F', 'A', 'K'}, optional
        Controls the iteration order. 'C' means C order, 'F' means
        Fortran order, 'A' means 'F' order if all the arrays are Fortran
        contiguous, 'C' order otherwise, and 'K' means as close to the
        order the array elements appear in memory as possible. This also
        affects the element memory order of "allocate" operands, as they
        are allocated to be compatible with iteration order.
        Default is 'K'.
    casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
        Controls what kind of data casting may occur when making a copy
        or buffering.  Setting this to 'unsafe' is not recommended,
        as it can adversely affect accumulations.

          * 'no' means the data types should not be cast at all.
          * 'equiv' means only byte-order changes are allowed.
          * 'safe' means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.
          * 'same_kind' means only safe casts or casts within a kind,
            like float64 to float32, are allowed.
          * 'unsafe' means any data conversions may be done.
    op_axes : list of list of ints, optional
        If provided, is a list of ints or None for each operands.
        The list of axes for an operand is a mapping from the dimensions
        of the iterator to the dimensions of the operand. A value of
        -1 can be placed for entries, causing that dimension to be
        treated as "newaxis".
    itershape : tuple of ints, optional
        The desired shape of the iterator. This allows "allocate" operands
        with a dimension mapped by op_axes not corresponding to a dimension
        of a different operand to get a value not equal to 1 for that
        dimension.
    buffersize : int, optional
        When buffering is enabled, controls the size of the temporary
        buffers. Set to 0 for the default value.

    Attributes
    ----------
    dtypes : tuple of dtype(s)
        The data types of the values provided in `value`. This may be
        different from the operand data types if buffering is enabled.
    finished : bool
        Whether the iteration over the operands is finished or not.
    has_delayed_bufalloc : bool
        If True, the iterator was created with the "delay_bufalloc" flag,
        and no reset() function was called on it yet.
    has_index : bool
        If True, the iterator was created with either the "c_index" or
        the "f_index" flag, and the property `index` can be used to
        retrieve it.
    has_multi_index : bool
        If True, the iterator was created with the "multi_index" flag,
        and the property `multi_index` can be used to retrieve it.
    index :
        When the "c_index" or "f_index" flag was used, this property
        provides access to the index. Raises a ValueError if accessed
        and `has_index` is False.
    iterationneedsapi : bool
        Whether iteration requires access to the Python API, for example
        if one of the operands is an object array.
    iterindex : int
        An index which matches the order of iteration.
    itersize : int
        Size of the iterator.
    itviews :
        Structured view(s) of `operands` in memory, matching the reordered
        and optimized iterator access pattern.
    multi_index :
        When the "multi_index" flag was used, this property
        provides access to the index. Raises a ValueError if accessed
        accessed and `has_multi_index` is False.
    ndim : int
        The iterator's dimension.
    nop : int
        The number of iterator operands.
    operands : tuple of operand(s)
        The array(s) to be iterated over.
    shape : tuple of ints
        Shape tuple, the shape of the iterator.
    value :
        Value of `operands` at current iteration. Normally, this is a
        tuple of array scalars, but if the flag "external_loop" is used,
        it is a tuple of one dimensional arrays.

    Notes
    -----
    `nditer` supersedes `flatiter`.  The iterator implementation behind
    `nditer` is also exposed by the Numpy C API.

    The Python exposure supplies two iteration interfaces, one which follows
    the Python iterator protocol, and another which mirrors the C-style
    do-while pattern.  The native Python approach is better in most cases, but
    if you need the iterator's coordinates or index, use the C-style pattern.

    Examples
    --------
    Here is how we might write an ``iter_add`` function, using the
    Python iterator protocol::

        def iter_add_py(x, y, out=None):
            addop = np.add
            it = np.nditer([x, y, out], [],
                        [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly','allocate']])
            for (a, b, c) in it:
                addop(a, b, out=c)
            return it.operands[2]

    Here is the same function, but following the C-style pattern::

        def iter_add(x, y, out=None):
            addop = np.add

            it = np.nditer([x, y, out], [],
                        [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly','allocate']])

            while not it.finished:
                addop(it[0], it[1], out=it[2])
                it.iternext()

            return it.operands[2]

    Here is an example outer product function::

        def outer_it(x, y, out=None):
            mulop = np.multiply

            it = np.nditer([x, y, out], ['external_loop'],
                    [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly', 'allocate']],
                    op_axes=[range(x.ndim)+[-1]*y.ndim,
                             [-1]*x.ndim+range(y.ndim),
                             None])

            for (a, b, c) in it:
                mulop(a, b, out=c)

            return it.operands[2]

        >>> a = np.arange(2)+1
        >>> b = np.arange(3)+1
        >>> outer_it(a,b)
        array([[1, 2, 3],
               [2, 4, 6]])

    Here is an example function which operates like a "lambda" ufunc::

        def luf(lamdaexpr, *args, **kwargs):
            "luf(lambdaexpr, op1, ..., opn, out=None, order='K', casting='safe', buffersize=0)"
            nargs = len(args)
            op = (kwargs.get('out',None),) + args
            it = np.nditer(op, ['buffered','external_loop'],
                    [['writeonly','allocate','no_broadcast']] +
                                    [['readonly','nbo','aligned']]*nargs,
                    order=kwargs.get('order','K'),
                    casting=kwargs.get('casting','safe'),
                    buffersize=kwargs.get('buffersize',0))
            while not it.finished:
                it[0] = lamdaexpr(*it[1:])
                it.iternext()
            return it.operands[0]

        >>> a = np.arange(5)
        >>> b = np.ones(5)
        >>> luf(lambda i,j:i*i + j/2, a, b)
        array([  0.5,   1.5,   4.5,   9.5,  16.5])

    order : {'C', 'F', 'A'}, optional
        Specify the order of the array.  If order is 'C' (default), then the
        array will be in C-contiguous order (last-index varies the
        fastest).  If order is 'F', then the returned array
        will be in Fortran-contiguous order (first-index varies the
        fastest).  If order is 'A', then the returned array may
        be in any order (either C-, Fortran-contiguous, or even
        discontiguous).
    subok : bool, optional
        If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through, otherwise
        the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array (default).
    ndmin : int, optional
        Specifies the minimum number of dimensions that the resulting
        array should have.  Ones will be pre-pended to the shape as
        needed to meet this requirement.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        An array object satisfying the specified requirements.

    Notes
    -----
    `empty`, unlike `zeros`, does not set the array values to zero,

    `tofile` method can be read using this function.

    Parameters
    ----------
    file : file or str
        Open file object or filename.
    dtype : data-type
        Data type of the returned array.
        For binary files, it is used to determine the size and byte-order
        of the items in the file.
    count : int

        file).
    sep : str
        Separator between items if file is a text file.
        Empty ("") separator means the file should be treated as binary.
        Spaces (" ") in the separator match zero or more whitespace characters.
        A separator consisting only of spaces must match at least one
        whitespace.

    Notes
    -----
    Do not rely on the combination of `tofile` and `fromfile` for
    data storage, as the binary files generated are are not platform
    independent.  In particular, no byte-order or data-type information is
    saved.  Data can be stored in the platform independent ``.npy`` format
    using `save` and `load` instead.

    Examples
    --------
    Construct an ndarray:

    >>> dt = np.dtype([('time', [('min', int), ('sec', int)]),
    ...                ('temp', float)])

    Return evenly spaced values within a given interval.

    Values are generated within the half-open interval ``[start, stop)``

    For integer arguments the function is equivalent to the Python built-in
    `range <http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html>`_ function,
    but returns an ndarray rather than a list.

    When using a non-integer step, such as 0.1, the results will often not
    be consistent.  It is better to use ``linspace`` for these cases.

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : number, optional
        Start of interval.  The interval includes this value.  The default
        start value is 0.
    stop : number
        End of interval.  The interval does not include this value, except
        in some cases where `step` is not an integer and floating point
        round-off affects the length of `out`.
    step : number, optional
        Spacing between values.  For any output `out`, this is the distance
        between two adjacent values, ``out[i+1] - out[i]``.  The default
        step size is 1.  If `step` is specified, `start` must also be given.
    dtype : dtype
        The type of the output array.  If `dtype` is not given, infer the data
        type from the other input arguments.

    Returns
    -------
    arange : ndarray
        Array of evenly spaced values.

        For floating point arguments, the length of the result is
        ``ceil((stop - start)/step)``.  Because of floating point overflow,
        this rule may result in the last element of `out` being greater
        than `stop`.

    lexsort(keys, axis=-1)

    Perform an indirect sort using a sequence of keys.

    Given multiple sorting keys, which can be interpreted as columns in a
    spreadsheet, lexsort returns an array of integer indices that describes
    the sort order by multiple columns. The last key in the sequence is used
    for the primary sort order, the second-to-last key for the secondary sort
    order, and so on. The keys argument must be a sequence of objects that
    can be converted to arrays of the same shape. If a 2D array is provided
    for the keys argument, it's rows are interpreted as the sorting keys and
    sorting is according to the last row, second last row etc.

    Parameters
    ----------
    keys : (k, N) array or tuple containing k (N,)-shaped sequences
        The `k` different "columns" to be sorted.  The last column (or row if
        `keys` is a 2D array) is the primary sort key.
    axis : int, optional
        Axis to be indirectly sorted.  By default, sort over the last axis.

    Returns
    -------
    indices : (N,) ndarray of ints
        Array of indices that sort the keys along the specified axis.

    result_type(*arrays_and_dtypes)

    Returns the type that results from applying the NumPy
    type promotion rules to the arguments.

    Type promotion in NumPy works similarly to the rules in languages
    like C++, with some slight differences.  When both scalars and
    arrays are used, the array's type takes precedence and the actual value
    of the scalar is taken into account.

    For example, calculating 3*a, where a is an array of 32-bit floats,
    intuitively should result in a 32-bit float output.  If the 3 is a
    32-bit integer, the NumPy rules indicate it can't convert losslessly
    into a 32-bit float, so a 64-bit float should be the result type.
    By examining the value of the constant, '3', we see that it fits in
    an 8-bit integer, which can be cast losslessly into the 32-bit float.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arrays_and_dtypes : list of arrays and dtypes
        The operands of some operation whose result type is needed.

    The specific algorithm used is as follows.

    Categories are determined by first checking which of boolean,
    integer (int/uint), or floating point (float/complex) the maximum
    kind of all the arrays and the scalars are.

    If there are only scalars or the maximum category of the scalars
    is higher than the maximum category of the arrays,
    the data types are combined with :func:`promote_types`
    to produce the return value.

    Otherwise, `min_scalar_type` is called on each array, and
    the resulting data types are all combined with :func:`promote_types`
    to produce the return value.

    The set of int values is not a subset of the uint values for types
    with the same number of bits, something not reflected in
    :func:`min_scalar_type`, but handled as a special case in `result_type`.

    Repeated subscripts labels in one operand take the diagonal.  For example,
    ``np.einsum('ii', a)`` is equivalent to ``np.trace(a)``.

    Whenever a label is repeated, it is summed, so ``np.einsum('i,i', a, b)``
    is equivalent to ``np.inner(a,b)``.  If a label appears only once,
    it is not summed, so ``np.einsum('i', a)`` produces a view of ``a``
    with no changes.

    The order of labels in the output is by default alphabetical.  This
    means that ``np.einsum('ij', a)`` doesn't affect a 2D array, while
    ``np.einsum('ji', a)`` takes its transpose.

    The output can be controlled by specifying output subscript labels
    as well.  This specifies the label order, and allows summing to
    be disallowed or forced when desired.  The call ``np.einsum('i->', a)``
    is like ``np.sum(a, axis=-1)``, and ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
    is like ``np.diag(a)``.  The difference is that `einsum` does not
    allow broadcasting by default.

    To enable and control broadcasting, use an ellipsis.  Default
    NumPy-style broadcasting is done by adding an ellipsis
    to the left of each term, like ``np.einsum('...ii->...i', a)``.
    To take the trace along the first and last axes,
    you can do ``np.einsum('i...i', a)``, or to do a matrix-matrix
    product with the left-most indices instead of rightmost, you can do
    ``np.einsum('ij...,jk...->ik...', a, b)``.

    When there is only one operand, no axes are summed, and no output
    parameter is provided, a view into the operand is returned instead
    of a new array.  Thus, taking the diagonal as ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
    produces a view.

    An alternative way to provide the subscripts and operands is as
    ``einsum(op0, sublist0, op1, sublist1, ..., [sublistout])``. The examples
    below have corresponding `einsum` calls with the two parameter methods.

    ndarray(shape, dtype=float, buffer=None, offset=0,
            strides=None, order=None)

    An array object represents a multidimensional, homogeneous array
    of fixed-size items.  An associated data-type object describes the
    format of each element in the array (its byte-order, how many bytes it
    occupies in memory, whether it is an integer, a floating point number,
    or something else, etc.)

    Arrays should be constructed using `array`, `zeros` or `empty` (refer
    to the See Also section below).  The parameters given here refer to
    a low-level method (`ndarray(...)`) for instantiating an array.

    For more information, refer to the `numpy` module and examine the
    the methods and attributes of an array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    (for the __new__ method; see Notes below)

    shape : tuple of ints
        Shape of created array.
    dtype : data-type, optional
        Any object that can be interpreted as a numpy data type.
    buffer : object exposing buffer interface, optional
        Used to fill the array with data.
    offset : int, optional
        Offset of array data in buffer.
    strides : tuple of ints, optional
        Strides of data in memory.
    order : {'C', 'F'}, optional
        Row-major or column-major order.

    Attributes
    ----------
    T : ndarray
        Transpose of the array.
    data : buffer
        The array's elements, in memory.
    dtype : dtype object
        Describes the format of the elements in the array.
    flags : dict
        Dictionary containing information related to memory use, e.g.,
        'C_CONTIGUOUS', 'OWNDATA', 'WRITEABLE', etc.
    flat : numpy.flatiter object
        Flattened version of the array as an iterator.  The iterator
        allows assignments, e.g., ``x.flat = 3`` (See `ndarray.flat` for
        assignment examples; TODO).
    imag : ndarray
        Imaginary part of the array.
    real : ndarray
        Real part of the array.
    size : int
        Number of elements in the array.
    itemsize : int
        The memory use of each array element in bytes.
    nbytes : int
        The total number of bytes required to store the array data,
        i.e., ``itemsize * size``.
    ndim : int
        The array's number of dimensions.
    shape : tuple of ints
        Shape of the array.
    strides : tuple of ints
        The step-size required to move from one element to the next in
        memory. For example, a contiguous ``(3, 4)`` array of type
        ``int16`` in C-order has strides ``(8, 2)``.  This implies that
        to move from element to element in memory requires jumps of 2 bytes.
        To move from row-to-row, one needs to jump 8 bytes at a time
        (``2 * 4``).
    ctypes : ctypes object
        Class containing properties of the array needed for interaction
        with ctypes.
    base : ndarray
        If the array is a view into another array, that array is its `base`
        (unless that array is also a view).  The `base` array is where the
        array data is actually stored.

    See Also
    --------
    array : Construct an array.
    zeros : Create an array, each element of which is zero.
    empty : Create an array, but leave its allocated memory unchanged (i.e.,
            it contains "garbage").
    dtype : Create a data-type.

    Notes
    -----
    There are two modes of creating an array using ``__new__``:

    1. If `buffer` is None, then only `shape`, `dtype`, and `order`
       are used.
    2. If `buffer` is an object exposing the buffer interface, then
       all keywords are interpreted.

    No ``__init__`` method is needed because the array is fully initialized
    after the ``__new__`` method.

    Examples
    --------
    These examples illustrate the low-level `ndarray` constructor.  Refer
    to the `See Also` section above for easier ways of constructing an
    ndarray.

    First mode, `buffer` is None:

    >>> np.ndarray(shape=(2,2), dtype=float, order='F')
    array([[ -1.13698227e+002,   4.25087011e-303],
           [  2.88528414e-306,   3.27025015e-309]])         #random

    Second mode:

    >>> np.ndarray((2,), buffer=np.array([1,2,3]),
    ...            offset=np.int_().itemsize,
    ...            dtype=int) # offset = 1*itemsize, i.e. skip first element
    array([2, 3])

    Notes
    -----
    Below are the public attributes of this object which were documented
    in "Guide to NumPy" (we have omitted undocumented public attributes,
    as well as documented private attributes):

    * data: A pointer to the memory area of the array as a Python integer.
      This memory area may contain data that is not aligned, or not in correct
      byte-order. The memory area may not even be writeable. The array
      flags and data-type of this array should be respected when passing this
      attribute to arbitrary C-code to avoid trouble that can include Python
      crashing. User Beware! The value of this attribute is exactly the same
      as self._array_interface_['data'][0].

    * shape (c_intp*self.ndim): A ctypes array of length self.ndim where
      the basetype is the C-integer corresponding to dtype('p') on this
      platform. This base-type could be c_int, c_long, or c_longlong
      depending on the platform. The c_intp type is defined accordingly in
      numpy.ctypeslib. The ctypes array contains the shape of the underlying
      array.

    * strides (c_intp*self.ndim): A ctypes array of length self.ndim where
      the basetype is the same as for the shape attribute. This ctypes array
      contains the strides information from the underlying array. This strides
      information is important for showing how many bytes must be jumped to
      get to the next element in the array.

    * data_as(obj): Return the data pointer cast to a particular c-types object.
      For example, calling self._as_parameter_ is equivalent to
      self.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p). Perhaps you want to use the data as a
      pointer to a ctypes array of floating-point data:
      self.data_as(ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_double)).

    * shape_as(obj): Return the shape tuple as an array of some other c-types
      type. For example: self.shape_as(ctypes.c_short).

    * strides_as(obj): Return the strides tuple as an array of some other
      c-types type. For example: self.strides_as(ctypes.c_longlong).

    Be careful using the ctypes attribute - especially on temporary
    arrays or arrays constructed on the fly. For example, calling
    ``(a+b).ctypes.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p)`` returns a pointer to memory
    that is invalid because the array created as (a+b) is deallocated
    before the next Python statement. You can avoid this problem using
    either ``c=a+b`` or ``ct=(a+b).ctypes``. In the latter case, ct will
    hold a reference to the array until ct is deleted or re-assigned.

    If the ctypes module is not available, then the ctypes attribute
    of array objects still returns something useful, but ctypes objects
    are not returned and errors may be raised instead. In particular,
    the object will still have the as parameter attribute which will
    return an integer equal to the data attribute.

    --------
    >>> import ctypes
    >>> x
    array([[0, 1],
           [2, 3]])

        (The opposite is not true, in that a view of a locked array may not
        be made writeable.  However, currently, locking a base object does not
        lock any views that already reference it, so under that circumstance it
        is possible to alter the contents of a locked array via a previously
        created writeable view onto it.)  Attempting to change a non-writeable
        array raises a RuntimeError exception.

        The data and all elements are aligned appropriately for the hardware.
    UPDATEIFCOPY (U)
        This array is a copy of some other array. When this array is
        deallocated, the base array will be updated with the contents of

    Notes
    -----
    The `flags` object can be accessed dictionary-like (as in ``a.flags['WRITEABLE']``),
    or by using lowercased attribute names (as in ``a.flags.writeable``). Short flag
    names are only supported in dictionary access.

    Only the UPDATEIFCOPY, WRITEABLE, and ALIGNED flags can be changed by
    the user, via direct assignment to the attribute or dictionary entry,
    or by calling `ndarray.setflags`.

    The array flags cannot be set arbitrarily:

    - UPDATEIFCOPY can only be set ``False``.
    - ALIGNED can only be set ``True`` if the data is truly aligned.
    - WRITEABLE can only be set ``True`` if the array owns its own memory
      or the ultimate owner of the memory exposes a writeable buffer
      interface or is a string.

    Arrays can be both C-style and Fortran-style contiguous simultaneously.
    This is clear for 1-dimensional arrays, but can also be true for higher
    dimensional arrays.

    Even for contiguous arrays a stride for a given dimension
    ``arr.strides[dim]`` may be *arbitrary* if ``arr.shape[dim] == 1``
    or the array has no elements.
    It does *not* generally hold that ``self.strides[-1] == self.itemsize``
    for C-style contiguous arrays or ``self.strides[0] == self.itemsize`` for
    Fortran-style contiguous arrays is true.

    along a certain axis.  For example, we have to skip 4 bytes (1 value) to
    move to the next column, but 20 bytes (5 values) to get to the same

    a.getfield(dtype, offset=0)

    Returns a field of the given array as a certain type.

    A field is a view of the array data with a given data-type. The values in
    the view are determined by the given type and the offset into the current
    array in bytes. The offset needs to be such that the view dtype fits in the
    array dtype; for example an array of dtype complex128 has 16-byte elements.
    If taking a view with a 32-bit integer (4 bytes), the offset needs to be
    between 0 and 12 bytes.

    Parameters
    ----------
    dtype : str or dtype
        The data type of the view. The dtype size of the view can not be larger
        than that of the array itself.
    offset : int
        Number of bytes to skip before beginning the element view.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> x = np.diag([1.+1.j]*2)
    >>> x[1, 1] = 2 + 4.j
    >>> x
    array([[ 1.+1.j,  0.+0.j],

add_newdoc('numpy.core.multiarray', 'ndarray', ('item',

    a.item(*args)

    Copy an element of an array to a standard Python scalar and return it.

    Parameters
    ----------
    \\*args : Arguments (variable number and type)

        * none: in this case, the method only works for arrays
          with one element (`a.size == 1`), which element is
          copied into a standard Python scalar object and returned.

        * int_type: this argument is interpreted as a flat index into
          the array, specifying which element to copy and return.

        * tuple of int_types: functions as does a single int_type argument,
          except that the argument is interpreted as an nd-index into the
          array.

    Returns
    -------
    z : Standard Python scalar object
        A copy of the specified element of the array as a suitable
        Python scalar

    Notes
    -----
    When the data type of `a` is longdouble or clongdouble, item() returns
    a scalar array object because there is no available Python scalar that
    would not lose information. Void arrays return a buffer object for item(),
    unless fields are defined, in which case a tuple is returned.

    `item` is very similar to a[args], except, instead of an array scalar,
    a standard Python scalar is returned. This can be useful for speeding up
    access to elements of the array and doing arithmetic on elements of the
    array using Python's optimized math.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> x = np.random.randint(9, size=(3, 3))
    >>> x
    array([[3, 1, 7],
           [2, 8, 3],

    a.itemset(*args)

    Insert scalar into an array (scalar is cast to array's dtype, if possible)

    There must be at least 1 argument, and define the last argument
    as *item*.  Then, ``a.itemset(*args)`` is equivalent to but faster
    than ``a[args] = item``.  The item should be a scalar value and `args`
    must select a single item in the array `a`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    \*args : Arguments
        If one argument: a scalar, only used in case `a` is of size 1.
        If two arguments: the last argument is the value to be set
        and must be a scalar, the first argument specifies a single array
        element location. It is either an int or a tuple.

    Notes
    -----
    Compared to indexing syntax, `itemset` provides some speed increase
    for placing a scalar into a particular location in an `ndarray`,
    if you must do this.  However, generally this is discouraged:
    among other problems, it complicates the appearance of the code.
    Also, when using `itemset` (and `item`) inside a loop, be sure
    to assign the methods to a local variable to avoid the attribute
    look-up at each loop iteration.

    --------

    be set to True if the data is actually aligned according to the type.
    The UPDATEIFCOPY flag can never be set to True. The flag WRITEABLE

    align : bool, optional

    uic : bool, optional
        Describes whether or not `a` is a copy of another "base" array.

    Notes
    -----
    Array flags provide information about how the memory area used
    for the array is to be interpreted. There are 6 Boolean flags
    in use, only three of which can be changed by the user:
    UPDATEIFCOPY, WRITEABLE, and ALIGNED.

    WRITEABLE (W) the data area can be written to;

    ALIGNED (A) the data and strides are aligned appropriately for the hardware
    (as determined by the compiler);

    UPDATEIFCOPY (U) this array is a copy of some other array (referenced
    by .base). When this array is deallocated, the base array will be
    updated with the contents of this array.

    All flags can be accessed using their first (upper case) letter as well
    as the full name.

    For a 2-D array, this is the usual matrix transpose.

    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.

add_newdoc('numpy.core.multiarray', 'ndarray', ('view',

    a.view(dtype=None, type=None)

    New view of array with the same data.

    Parameters
    ----------
    dtype : data-type or ndarray sub-class, optional
        Data-type descriptor of the returned view, e.g., float32 or int16. The
        default, None, results in the view having the same data-type as `a`.
        This argument can also be specified as an ndarray sub-class, which
        then specifies the type of the returned object (this is equivalent to
        setting the ``type`` parameter).
    type : Python type, optional
        Type of the returned view, e.g., ndarray or matrix.  Again, the
        default None results in type preservation.

    Notes
    -----
    ``a.view()`` is used two different ways:

    ``a.view(some_dtype)`` or ``a.view(dtype=some_dtype)`` constructs a view
    of the array's memory with a different data-type.  This can cause a
    reinterpretation of the bytes of memory.

    ``a.view(ndarray_subclass)`` or ``a.view(type=ndarray_subclass)`` just
    returns an instance of `ndarray_subclass` that looks at the same array
    (same shape, dtype, etc.)  This does not cause a reinterpretation of the
    memory.

    For ``a.view(some_dtype)``, if ``some_dtype`` has a different number of
    bytes per entry than the previous dtype (for example, converting a
    regular array to a structured array), then the behavior of the view
    cannot be predicted just from the superficial appearance of ``a`` (shown
    by ``print(a)``). It also depends on exactly how ``a`` is stored in
    memory. Therefore if ``a`` is C-ordered versus fortran-ordered, versus
    defined as a slice or transpose, etc., the view may give different
    results.


    Examples
    --------
    >>> x = np.array([(1, 2)], dtype=[('a', np.int8), ('b', np.int8)])

    Viewing array data using a different type and dtype:

    >>> y = x.view(dtype=np.int16, type=np.matrix)
    >>> y
    matrix([[513]], dtype=int16)
    >>> print type(y)
    <class 'numpy.matrixlib.defmatrix.matrix'>

    Creating a view on a structured array so it can be used in calculations

    >>> x = np.array([(1, 2),(3,4)], dtype=[('a', np.int8), ('b', np.int8)])
    >>> xv = x.view(dtype=np.int8).reshape(-1,2)
    >>> xv
    array([[1, 2],
           [3, 4]], dtype=int8)
    >>> xv.mean(0)
    array([ 2.,  3.])

    Making changes to the view changes the underlying array

    >>> xv[0,1] = 20
    >>> print x
    [(1, 20) (3, 4)]

    Using a view to convert an array to a record array:

    >>> z = x.view(np.recarray)
    >>> z.a
    array([1], dtype=int8)

    Views share data:

    >>> x[0] = (9, 10)
    >>> z[0]
    (9, 10)

    Views that change the dtype size (bytes per entry) should normally be
    avoided on arrays defined by slices, transposes, fortran-ordering, etc.:

    >>> x = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], dtype=np.int16)
    >>> y = x[:, 0:2]
    >>> y
    array([[1, 2],
           [4, 5]], dtype=int16)
    >>> y.view(dtype=[('width', np.int16), ('length', np.int16)])

add_newdoc('numpy.lib._compiled_base', 'digitize',
    """
    digitize(x, bins, right=False)

    Return the indices of the bins to which each value in input array belongs.

    Each index ``i`` returned is such that ``bins[i-1] <= x < bins[i]`` if
    `bins` is monotonically increasing, or ``bins[i-1] > x >= bins[i]`` if
    `bins` is monotonically decreasing. If values in `x` are beyond the
    bounds of `bins`, 0 or ``len(bins)`` is returned as appropriate. If right
    is True, then the right bin is closed so that the index ``i`` is such
    that ``bins[i-1] < x <= bins[i]`` or bins[i-1] >= x > bins[i]`` if `bins`
    is monotonically increasing or decreasing, respectively.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like
        Input array to be binned. It has to be 1-dimensional.
    bins : array_like
        Array of bins. It has to be 1-dimensional and monotonic.
    right : bool, optional
        Indicating whether the intervals include the right or the left bin
        edge. Default behavior is (right==False) indicating that the interval
        does not include the right edge. The left bin and is open in this
        case. Ie., bins[i-1] <= x < bins[i] is the default behavior for
        monotonically increasing bins.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray of ints
        Output array of indices, of same shape as `x`.

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        If the input is not 1-dimensional, or if `bins` is not monotonic.
    TypeError
        If the type of the input is complex.

    Notes
    -----
    If values in `x` are such that they fall outside the bin range,

add_newdoc('numpy.lib._compiled_base', 'bincount',
    """
    bincount(x, weights=None, minlength=None)

    Count number of occurrences of each value in array of non-negative ints.

    The number of bins (of size 1) is one larger than the largest value in
    `x`. If `minlength` is specified, there will be at least this number
    of bins in the output array (though it will be longer if necessary,
    depending on the contents of `x`).
    Each bin gives the number of occurrences of its index value in `x`.
    If `weights` is specified the input array is weighted by it, i.e. if a
    value ``n`` is found at position ``i``, ``out[n] += weight[i]`` instead
    of ``out[n] += 1``.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like, 1 dimension, nonnegative ints
        Input array.
    weights : array_like, optional
        Weights, array of the same shape as `x`.
    minlength : int, optional
        .. versionadded:: 1.6.0

        A minimum number of bins for the output array.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray of ints
        The result of binning the input array.
        The length of `out` is equal to ``np.amax(x)+1``.

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        If the input is not 1-dimensional, or contains elements with negative
        values, or if `minlength` is non-positive.
    TypeError

    Functions that operate element by element on whole arrays.

    To see the documentation for a specific ufunc, use np.info().  For
    example, np.info(np.sin).  Because ufuncs are written in C
    (for speed) and linked into Python with NumPy's ufunc facility,
    Python's help() function finds this page whenever help() is called
    on a ufunc.

    A detailed explanation of ufuncs can be found in the "ufuncs.rst"
    file in the NumPy reference guide.

    Unary ufuncs:
    =============

    op(X, out=None)
    Apply op to X elementwise

    Parameters
    ----------
    X : array_like
        Input array.
    out : array_like
        An array to store the output. Must be the same shape as `X`.

    Returns
    -------
    r : array_like
        `r` will have the same shape as `X`; if out is provided, `r`
        will be equal to out.

    Binary ufuncs:
    ==============

    op(X, Y, out=None)
    Apply `op` to `X` and `Y` elementwise. May "broadcast" to make
    the shapes of `X` and `Y` congruent.

    The broadcasting rules are:

    * Dimensions of length 1 may be prepended to either array.
    * Arrays may be repeated along dimensions of length 1.

    Parameters
    ----------
    X : array_like
        First input array.
    Y : array_like
        Second input array.
    out : array_like
        An array to store the output. Must be the same shape as the
        output would have.

        For operations which are either not commutative or not associative,
        doing a reduction over multiple axes is not well-defined. The
        ufuncs do not currently raise an exception in this case, but will
        likely do so in the future.
    dtype : data-type code, optional
        The type used to represent the intermediate results. Defaults
        to the data-type of the output array if this is provided, or
        the data-type of the input array if no output array is provided.
    out : ndarray, optional
        A location into which the result is stored. If not provided, a
        freshly-allocated array is returned.
    keepdims : bool, optional
        If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left
        in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option,
        the result will broadcast correctly against the original `arr`.

    Returns
    -------
    r : ndarray
        The reduced array. If `out` was supplied, `r` is a reference to it.

add_newdoc('numpy.core', 'ufunc', ('accumulate',
    """
    accumulate(array, axis=0, dtype=None, out=None)

    Accumulate the result of applying the operator to all elements.

    For a one-dimensional array, accumulate produces results equivalent to::

      r = np.empty(len(A))
      t = op.identity        # op = the ufunc being applied to A's  elements
      for i in range(len(A)):
          t = op(t, A[i])
          r[i] = t
      return r

    For example, add.accumulate() is equivalent to np.cumsum().

    For a multi-dimensional array, accumulate is applied along only one
    axis (axis zero by default; see Examples below) so repeated use is
    necessary if one wants to accumulate over multiple axes.

    Parameters
    ----------
    array : array_like
        The array to act on.
    axis : int, optional
        The axis along which to apply the accumulation; default is zero.
    dtype : data-type code, optional
        The data-type used to represent the intermediate results. Defaults
        to the data-type of the output array if such is provided, or the
        the data-type of the input array if no output array is provided.
    out : ndarray, optional
        A location into which the result is stored. If not provided a
        freshly-allocated array is returned.

    Returns
    -------
    r : ndarray
        The accumulated values. If `out` was supplied, `r` is a reference to
        `out`.

    """))

add_newdoc('numpy.core', 'ufunc', ('reduceat',
    """
    reduceat(a, indices, axis=0, dtype=None, out=None)

    Performs a (local) reduce with specified slices over a single axis.

    For i in ``range(len(indices))``, `reduceat` computes
    ``ufunc.reduce(a[indices[i]:indices[i+1]])``, which becomes the i-th
    generalized "row" parallel to `axis` in the final result (i.e., in a
    2-D array, for example, if `axis = 0`, it becomes the i-th row, but if
    `axis = 1`, it becomes the i-th column).  There are three exceptions to this:

    * when ``i = len(indices) - 1`` (so for the last index),
      ``indices[i+1] = a.shape[axis]``.
    * if ``indices[i] >= indices[i + 1]``, the i-th generalized "row" is
      simply ``a[indices[i]]``.
    * if ``indices[i] >= len(a)`` or ``indices[i] < 0``, an error is raised.

    The shape of the output depends on the size of `indices`, and may be
    larger than `a` (this happens if ``len(indices) > a.shape[axis]``).

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        The array to act on.
    indices : array_like
        Paired indices, comma separated (not colon), specifying slices to
        reduce.
    axis : int, optional
        The axis along which to apply the reduceat.
    dtype : data-type code, optional
        The type used to represent the intermediate results. Defaults
        to the data type of the output array if this is provided, or
        the data type of the input array if no output array is provided.
    out : ndarray, optional
        A location into which the result is stored. If not provided a
        freshly-allocated array is returned.

    Returns
    -------
    r : ndarray
        The reduced values. If `out` was supplied, `r` is a reference to
        `out`.

    Notes
    -----
    A descriptive example:

    If `a` is 1-D, the function `ufunc.accumulate(a)` is the same as
    ``ufunc.reduceat(a, indices)[::2]`` where `indices` is
    ``range(len(array) - 1)`` with a zero placed
    in every other element:
    ``indices = zeros(2 * len(a) - 1)``, ``indices[1::2] = range(1, len(a))``.

    Don't be fooled by this attribute's name: `reduceat(a)` is not
    necessarily smaller than `a`.

    dtype(obj, align=False, copy=False)

    Create a data type object.

    A numpy array is homogeneous, and contains elements described by a
    dtype object. A dtype object can be constructed from different
    combinations of fundamental numeric types.

    Parameters
    ----------
    obj
        Object to be converted to a data type object.
    align : bool, optional
        Add padding to the fields to match what a C compiler would output
        for a similar C-struct. Can be ``True`` only if `obj` is a dictionary
        or a comma-separated string. If a struct dtype is being created,
        this also sets a sticky alignment flag ``isalignedstruct``.
    copy : bool, optional
        Make a new copy of the data-type object. If ``False``, the result
        may just be a reference to a built-in data-type object.

    Examples
    --------
    Using array-scalar type:

    >>> np.dtype(np.int16)
    dtype('int16')

    Record, one field name 'f1', containing int16:

    >>> np.dtype([('f1', np.int16)])
    dtype([('f1', '<i2')])

    Record, one field named 'f1', in itself containing a record with one field:

    >>> np.dtype([('f1', [('f1', np.int16)])])
    dtype([('f1', [('f1', '<i2')])])

    Record, two fields: the first field contains an unsigned int, the
    second an int32:

    >>> np.dtype([('f1', np.uint), ('f2', np.int32)])
    dtype([('f1', '<u4'), ('f2', '<i4')])

    Using array-protocol type strings:

    >>> np.dtype([('a','f8'),('b','S10')])
    dtype([('a', '<f8'), ('b', '|S10')])

    Using comma-separated field formats.  The shape is (2,3):

    >>> np.dtype("i4, (2,3)f8")
    dtype([('f0', '<i4'), ('f1', '<f8', (2, 3))])

    Using tuples.  ``int`` is a fixed type, 3 the field's shape.  ``void``
    is a flexible type, here of size 10:

    >>> np.dtype([('hello',(np.int,3)),('world',np.void,10)])
    dtype([('hello', '<i4', 3), ('world', '|V10')])

    Subdivide ``int16`` into 2 ``int8``'s, called x and y.  0 and 1 are
    the offsets in bytes:

    >>> np.dtype((np.int16, {'x':(np.int8,0), 'y':(np.int8,1)}))
    dtype(('<i2', [('x', '|i1'), ('y', '|i1')]))

    newbyteorder(new_order='S')

    Return a new dtype with a different byte order.

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

    Parameters
    ----------
    new_order : string, optional
        Byte order to force; a value from the byte order
        specifications below.  The default value ('S') results in
        swapping the current byte order.
        `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 code does a case-insensitive check on the first letter of
        `new_order` for these alternatives.  For example, any of '>'
        or 'B' or 'b' or 'brian' are valid to specify big-endian.

    Returns
    -------
    new_dtype : dtype
        New dtype object with the given change to the byte order.

    busdaycalendar(weekmask='1111100', holidays=None)

    A business day calendar object that efficiently stores information
    defining valid days for the busday family of functions.

    The default valid days are Monday through Friday ("business days").
    A busdaycalendar object can be specified with any set of weekly
    valid days, plus an optional "holiday" dates that always will be invalid.

    Once a busdaycalendar object is created, the weekmask and holidays
    cannot be modified.

    .. versionadded:: 1.7.0

    Parameters
    ----------
    weekmask : str or array_like of bool, optional
        A seven-element array indicating which of Monday through Sunday are
        valid days. May be specified as a length-seven list or array, like
        [1,1,1,1,1,0,0]; a length-seven string, like '1111100'; or a string
        like "Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri", made up of 3-character abbreviations for
        weekdays, optionally separated by white space. Valid abbreviations
        are: Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
    holidays : array_like of datetime64[D], optional
        An array of dates to consider as invalid dates, no matter which
        weekday they fall upon.  Holiday dates may be specified in any
        order, and NaT (not-a-time) dates are ignored.  This list is
        saved in a normalized form that is suited for fast calculations
        of valid days.

    Returns
    -------
    out : busdaycalendar
        A business day calendar object containing the specified
        weekmask and holidays values.

    The `new_order` code can be any from the following:

    * {'<', 'L'} - little endian
    * {'>', 'B'} - big endian
    * {'=', 'N'} - native order
    * 'S' - swap dtype from current to opposite endian

    ----------
    new_order : str, optional
        Byte order to force; a value from the byte order specifications
        above.  The default value ('S') results in swapping the current
        byte order. The code does a case-insensitive check on the first
