fields.buffers.core.HDF5Buffer.expand_dims

HDF5Buffer.expand_dims(axis: int, *args, inplace: bool = False, **kwargs) → BufferBase

Expand the shape of this buffer by inserting a new axis.

Parameters:

• axis (int) – Position at which to insert the new axis.

• *args – Additional positional arguments forwarded to from_array().

• inplace (bool, optional) – If True, values for file, name, and overwrite are ignored; the dataset underlying the calling buffer is directly replaced and the object is updated and returned in-place.

• **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments forwarded to and from_array(). If inplace is True, then these are forwarded to replace_dataset().

Returns:

A buffer with the expanded shape.

Return type:

BufferBase
