s Fortran *contiguous* in memory, row-major order otherwise. 'K' means to flatten `m` in the order the elements occur in memory. The default is 'C'. Returns ------- y : matrix A copy of the matrix, flattened to a `(1, N)` matrix where `N` is the number of elements in the original matrix. See Also -------- ravel : Return a flattened array. flat : A 1-D flat iterator over the matrix. Examples -------- >>> m = np.matrix([[1,2], [3,4]]) >>> m.flatten() matrix([[1, 2, 3, 4]]) >>> m.flatten('F') matrix([[1, 3, 2, 4]]) ©
