l): * '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. legacy : string 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. This also enables 1.21 legacy printing mode (described below). If set to the string `'1.21'` enables 1.21 legacy printing mode. This approximates numpy 1.21 print output of complex structured dtypes by not inserting spaces after commas that separate fields and after colons. If set to `False`, disables legacy mode. Unrecognized strings will be ignored with a warning for forward compatibility. .. versionadded:: 1.14.0 .. versionchanged:: 1.22.0 See Also -------- get_printoptions, printoptions, set_string_function, array2string Notes ----- `formatter` is always reset with a call to `set_printoptions`. Use `printoptions` as a context manager to set the values temporarily. Examples -------- Floating point precision can be set: >>> np.set_printoptions(precision=4) >>> np.array([1.123456789]) [1.1235] Long arrays can be summarised: >>> np.set_printoptions(threshold=5) >>> np.arange(10) array([0, 1, 2, ..., 7, 8, 9]) Small results can be suppressed: >>> eps = np.finfo(float).eps >>> x = np.arange(4.) >>> x**2 - (x + eps)**2 array([-4.9304e-32, -4.4409e-16, 0.0000e+00, 0.0000e+00]) >>> np.set_printoptions(suppress=True) >>> x**2 - (x + eps)**2 array([-0., -0., 0., 0.]) A custom formatter can be used to display array elements as desired: >>> np.set_printoptions(formatter={'all':lambda x: 'int: '+str(-x)}) >>> x = np.arange(3) >>> x array([int: 0, int: -1, int: -2]) >>> np.set_printoptions() # formatter gets reset >>> x array([0, 1, 2]) To put back the default options, you can use: >>> np.set_printoptions(edgeitems=3, infstr='inf', ... linewidth=75, nanstr='nan', precision=8, ... suppress=False, threshold=1000, formatter=None) Also to temporarily override options, use `printoptions` as a context manager: >>> with np.printoptions(precision=2, suppress=True, threshold=5): ... np.linspace(0, 10, 10) array([ 0. , 1.11, 2.22, ..., 7.78, 8.89, 10. ]) r9
