ask_rows : Mask rows of a 2D array that contain masked values.
mask_cols : Mask cols of a 2D array that contain masked values.
masked_where : Mask where a condition is met.

Notes
-----
The input array's mask is modified by this function.

Examples
--------
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.zeros((3, 3), dtype=int)
>>> a[1, 1] = 1
>>> a
array([[0, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 0],
       [0, 0, 0]])
>>> a = np.ma.masked_equal(a, 1)
>>> a
masked_array(
  data=[[0, 0, 0],
        [0, --, 0],
        [0, 0, 0]],
  mask=[[False, False, False],
        [False,  True, False],
        [False, False, False]],
  fill_value=1)
>>> np.ma.mask_rowcols(a)
masked_array(
  data=[[0, --, 0],
        [--, --, --],
        [0, --, 0]],
  mask=[[False,  True, False],
        [ True,  True,  True],
        [False,  True, False]],
  fill_value=1)
