egative number means to only unpack `count` bits. A negative number means to trim off that many bits from the end. ``None`` means to unpack the entire array (the default). Counts larger than the available number of bits will add zero padding to the output. Negative counts must not exceed the available number of bits. .. versionadded:: 1.17.0 bitorder : {'big', 'little'}, optional The order of the returned bits. 'big' will mimic bin(val), ``3 = 0b00000011 => [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1]``, 'little' will reverse the order to ``[1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]``. Defaults to 'big'. .. versionadded:: 1.17.0 Returns ------- unpacked : ndarray, uint8 type The elements are binary-valued (0 or 1). See Also -------- packbits : Packs the elements of a binary-valued array into bits in a uint8 array. Examples -------- >>> a = np.array([[2], [7], [23]], dtype=np.uint8) >>> a array([[ 2], [ 7], [23]], dtype=uint8) >>> b = np.unpackbits(a, axis=1) >>> b array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1]], dtype=uint8) >>> c = np.unpackbits(a, axis=1, count=-3) >>> c array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0]], dtype=uint8) >>> p = np.packbits(b, axis=0) >>> np.unpackbits(p, axis=0) array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=uint8) >>> np.array_equal(b, np.unpackbits(p, axis=0, count=b.shape[0])) True rA
