pynbody.array.array_factory

pynbody.array.array_factory(dims: int | tuple, dtype: dtype, zeros: bool, shared: bool) → SimArray

Create an array of dimensions dims with the given numpy dtype.

Parameters:

• dims (int or tuple) – The dimensions of the array.

• dtype (numpy.dtype) – The data type of the array.

• zeros (bool) – If True, the array is guaranteed to be zeroed.

• shared (bool) – If True, the array uses shared memory and can be efficiently shared across processes.
