y.nonzero : Equivalent ndarray method. count_nonzero : Counts the number of non-zero elements in the input array. Examples -------- >>> import numpy.ma as ma >>> x = ma.array(np.eye(3)) >>> x masked_array( data=[[1., 0., 0.], [0., 1., 0.], [0., 0., 1.]], mask=False, fill_value=1e+20) >>> x.nonzero() (array([0, 1, 2]), array([0, 1, 2])) Masked elements are ignored. >>> x[1, 1] = ma.masked >>> x masked_array( data=[[1.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, --, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 1.0]], mask=[[False, False, False], [False, True, False], [False, False, False]], fill_value=1e+20) >>> x.nonzero() (array([0, 2]), array([0, 2])) Indices can also be grouped by element. >>> np.transpose(x.nonzero()) array([[0, 0], [2, 2]]) A common use for ``nonzero`` is to find the indices of an array, where a condition is True. Given an array `a`, the condition `a` > 3 is a boolean array and since False is interpreted as 0, ma.nonzero(a > 3) yields the indices of the `a` where the condition is true. >>> a = ma.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]) >>> a > 3 masked_array( data=[[False, False, False], [ True, True, True], [ True, True, True]], mask=False, fill_value=True) >>> ma.nonzero(a > 3) (array([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2]), array([0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2])) The ``nonzero`` method of the condition array can also be called. >>> (a > 3).nonzero() (array([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2]), array([0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2])) r
